System overhaul
I'm going to be doing a serious system overhaul and right now i'm looking for ideas on what to get...I'm pretty set on boston speakers (the new ones) Sx85 I believe 
and an alpine head unit.
My plans are to stay with the rockford fosgate P3001 amp I have, to run the back speakers and use the deck to run the front speakers and tweeters. I want to get a new amp for my woofers Rockford Fosgate (two P2 10s)
what amp?
what tweeters? (i'm going to look for mach tweeters should I stay with those?)
what capacitor and size?
should or will I need to get a new battery?
I plan on hiding the amps in the trunk between the seats and a ported board(to close gap aroud the sub box) will I need fans?
I'm open to all suggestions and opinions. Thanks a lot for your help!

RE: System overhaul
I would get a second P3001 and use one for each sub. I would then get a 4 channel to run all 4 inside speakers P4004 (I think) if you still want to run just the backs I would use a 2 channel amp not the 1 channel amp this would make it stareo not mono.

RE: System overhaul
ok...that makes sense. if i do the setup you suggested even if I had a capacitor would it over work my alternator? I don't need a big amp to power the back speakers..it's only to free up the deck so I can run tweeters...or is that what a crossover does?If I can use my deck to power the speakers and tweeters then I'm just going to get another P3001..thats what I've been wanting to do for a while anyway.

why not get differnt subs and amps too that stuff is pretty low line

Personally I would use that Fosgate on the front and power your rear speakers off the deck. The reasoning behind this you want to have a good stage and imaging.

Yeah I know after reading some other posts, but I happen to really like how it sounds...Plus I'm not going to be entering any car shows or anything like that so I don't need the t series...even though I would love to own some t2 woofers
but since it's a mono amp it won't be stereo right? What do you mean by stage and imaging?
