Car Stero Setup Questions

Ok guys im about to purchase some car stereo stuff and wondering your opinions and what all i may be missing here to make a sweet system. Im thinking of going with either 1 or 2 Rockford Fosgate T2 12'' subs with a big ass amp. Also T1 speakers in the rear the 6x9's. Can i upgrade the front speakers? what about the front tweaters???? And lastly im gonna get a pioneer 4100 dvd headunit. I figure this set up would hit really hard and id have some fun with it. Im either looking at one single T2 or 2 not to sure about it. Let me know your thoughts thanks all!!!

I'd suggest an amp with sufficient RMS out, rather than one large in physical dimension.

no i dont mind at all lmao its a 05 with intake hid's and exhaust idk if any of that affects the setup i thought the power draw from hids might. Would i want to run 2 batterys one powering just the audio setup or just put an overall bigger battery in the car? And does everyone agree a t2 12'' will pound hard enough that i will no need 2 i figure ill start with one and add another if i still want more.
