I wouldn't put both of those sets of subs in there if thats what you were planning, plus I don't think your stock alternator will handle that both those amps.

If the type R's are dual 2 ohm subs, then they will work great with a zx1000.1

As for the speakers, I would buy a new amp for the front speakers.

Get yourself a solid HU, a good speaker/amp combo, and a box built to specs for those type R's and you should have a good setup.

Don't worry about a capacitor. Save your money for more important things.

Capacitors don't do anything so skip that.


And don't mix different subs in the same system, that will cause cancellation and/or really bad frequency response (translation: sounds bad).



The best thing to do is what donnie said, use the type R's. You wouldn't be able to run both amps on a stock alternator anyways.

And definetly make sure you get a good box built to the specs of those subs, box is more important than the speaker you put in it. You can easily make anything sound like sh!t by putting it in a prefab box.
