Default steps to my sound stuff?

ok so i couldnt think of a good title for this thread. but here is my situation.

i am looking into my system that i am going to be getting and it consists of:

2 12 subs
2 1500 watt amps
1 15 or 10 farad capacitor

(speakers after bass)

yes, i know its a lot but my friend wants to take my car and use it for competition if i do all of this. i can get installations and boxes built for me for close to nothing, its a friend of my friend who owns a speed shop. that is not a problem so here is what my situation is.

the capacitor is the most expensive single item on that list out of everything. and i cant afford all of it right now so i have to piece it all together. should i:

1) buy one sub and one amp and get that installed for the time being so i at least have something
2) buy both subs knowing i cant use them right now and just wait and then when i have more money buy both amps and then the capacitor and then install it all at once.

i am leaning towards option 1 simply because installation would be done and prepared for the upgraded speakers and power wires would be run big enough to handle both subs with the amps. so it would all be ready to go. i would only need to get another box/custom install. but then again i can just sell the one box when im done with it, should be real easy to get rid of. the box would cost me less then a normal generic box so if i decided to sell it i could proabaly even make money on it. anyones opinions?


ok so i definately think i just talked myself into this but if anyone has an opinion just let me know.

yeah ok, most people here are going to say screw that and dont do a system at all, just unsprung weight. well its what i like and i want so its what im going to do. call me what you like.
