Starting Car Audio

Hey everyone, this being my first car, and I don't plan on keeping it forever, I wanted to do a mod to it that I could carry on to my next car. Me being a lover of music of all types (trap, metal, rock, hip-hop/rap, hell I listen to Final Fantasy and Elder Scrolls game soundtracks, you name it, I'll listen), I thought I'd do car audio. I already have an idea of what I'm doing. Here's the wish list:

 

6.5" Alpine Type-R Component (front)

6.5" Alpine Type-R Coaxial (rear)

x2 12" Alpine Type-R SWR-12D4 Subs w/ Enclosure

Alpine MRX-1100 1100W Monoblock for both subs

Alpine MRV-F300 300W 4-Channel amp for speakers

 

Already have my Alpine head-unit installed, so that's started. This will be my first ever real car mod, and I want to do it right and put thought into the wiring and placements. I know I will be needing a new battery more than likely, I'm at 247k miles and don't know how long the current battery has been in there. I was thinking a XS Power battery off Amazon. Anyway, I honestly don't know that much about car audio, or setting it up. I will be using a guide, but I just wanted to ask around and see who's done anything like this in their Legacy's. Will I need a new alternator? It'll be 1400W. Will the stock battery be okay? Or should I not risk it? Where's the best place to mount the tweeters in the front? I was thinking the triangle piece of the door by the windshield would be best. Is my wish list up to par? I wanted all Alpine. I read something online about a wiring kit, will I need that or is that included? Any tips and questions that you all can answer would be PHENOMENAL. The system will be going in an '00 Legacy L Sedan BE.

You might consider searching. I would suggest a visit to crutchfield.com for a newbie as well, perhaps even buy from them.
