Get an extra battery i probably say atleast 2 cuz with all of the Subs u tryna power. You gonna need alot of power get atleast 2 capacitors. Maybe 2 5 farads capactiors that should definitely take a large amount of pressure off of ure amps. And as for an amp get a 2 Channel Amp so you can power not just your subs but also your speakers as well. Your probably gonna need atleast 2-3 of those amps. Az well. Also wat kind of car do u drive cuz putting in different types of subs is gonna be hard to work instead of getting 2 12's and 2 15's you should have got 4 of the same 4 12's or 4 15's. Cuz when you power the subs in the box you're gonna have different soundz comin out that will totally mess up your sound. So enjoy. That rattling. Go to a near car audio shop they should also help you in wat u wanna do with your car sound.

try to get an amp that is the same brand as the speakers. if your speakes are of different brands, then i recommend clarion amps. you have 8 speakers, so i would suggest a 500watt amp. but the best way is to add up the power of all the speakers (in watts), then add it with another 100watts. should give you enough power. the stock battery definately has to go, get some high performance ones. avoid HEAVY-DUTY, those are for trucks. hope you enjoy the noise (wow, 8 speakers, dude. tats cool!!!)

Ok, since no one has mentioned it yet, your battery won't be a problem. You need a (or some) caps (capacitors) between your battery and your amps to act as shock absorbers between your battery (stable...doesn't like too much push or pull) and your amps (love to pull BOOM>>>BOOM) and your alternator. Caps are like short term batteries. They draw slowly (2 sec.) and drain fast (500ms.) and the coolest ones have digital displays that, properly featured, give your cheese-*** system the look of a professional install. HAHA!! Vote4me...

add an optima battery in place of the stock or get a second battery kit. also with the power that you are trying to put out think about getting a bigger alternator as well as some power caps to help even out the power load.

LOL, i'll bet that 2 Pioneer 5000SPL's are louder then your car is going to be.
but all joking aside, we need to know what exactly you bought, so we can match amps up to your subs.
also, have you ever heard of mids and highs? i dont understand why people spend all this money on subs, and like $3 on mids and highs. bass is nice and all, but it really only from 0-100hrz. what about the other 19,900 hrz you can hear?

Why did you get two 12's AND two 15's. Having subs of different sizes can cause cancellations of some tones.
