fair enough. if you really want to have 'something going' then thats completely up to you. wont be the best path in terms of value but if you (and the budget) are fine with it then thats your call.
now, if it was me and i really couldnt hold out, then id just get a cheap 2channel l.o.c. hook that up to the monoblock and get the bass aspect of the system going. if you wanted to use the alpine multi-chan then get a 6channel l.o.c.
in regards to speakers, get your $300-$500 splits for the fronts. make sure you audition other options cus youve got plenty of great speakers in this price bracket. definately no need for 6x9s. no need to get speakers in the doors as well. rears have very little benefit for 'sq'. more isnt always better... leave the rears stock. doubt your passenger will complain. but anyway when the time comes when you get those $600-$1000 splits, just move the '$300-$500 fronts' to the rears.
dsp's, youve got lots of options but you can research that when that time comes. any reason for you wanting the RF 3sixty.2 specifically?
sub recommendations, depends on your budget. how much space are you willing to give up for the box/es? any brand preferences? would help a little too (in terms of impedance matching) if you gave an indication of what monblock you were looking at.
no need for the cap. just take the steps to ensure your electrical system & power supply is 'up-to-scratch'. that can include a better battery, healthy alternator, appropriate power wiring & ground upgrades. once theyre taken care of you wont need a cap.
havnt used that jaycar speaker wire but it sounds like a 'twisted pair' type. what gauge is your 'figure 8' speaker wire? 4x80rms would be no sweat for 18 or 20 awg wire. cant remember how thick the stock wire is but you should be fine if you had a little section of stock wire in the door wiring loom & your 'figure 8' for the rest. if your stock is 18/20 or thick then youre sweet.
good to know your using SD. SD may not fix a few rattles (for example, 2 surfaces rattling against each other as opposed to a surface resonating on its own) so you may need some ccf (closed cell foam). just a heads-up before you jam more SD (and waste SD) between those '2 surfaces'
think i covered everything. sorry for a slow reply, been busy.
where state are you located in?
