Any SQL competition winners want to give advice to a SEMA show car build on audio?

Hey guys, I've got to understand more about the audio thing before I complete a sound system addon to a 2009 build which is the sort of thing we don't usually build into a car.
Also I do expect anyone who volunteers information to know what they are talking about. I can provide detailed photos about the car's stock setup to specific people but not in public. Let me know know if you'd be interested in a quick back and forth and I'll contact you directly too as that's always worked best for me. Thanks.
The car is a 2009 mustang (i know another) It's built as the best handling car at sema however so it's a pretty interesting car.
I'm trying to get it at least credible on a sound competition level.
Currently it's got an AVN 726E head unit (just came out & ordered last week), Rockford Fosgate 3SIXTY.2 bluetooth equalizer, 3 McIntosh MC 431 400w+ amps (1 to the front speakers, 1 to the rear & midbass, 1 to the sub).
It has a custom enclosure of 2 cu. ft. in the rear deck made out of fibreglass for the rear full range speakers to isolate them from the sub, and a JL stealth box for the trunk.
I ordered 2 mega bulk packs of Dynamat and 4 1/2" Dynalineer packs.
I'm planning to buy: 2 JL ZR650-Csi speakers front, mountable with custom welded brackets. 2 JL ZR570-Csi speakers rear. 2 JL ZR800CW 8" midbass in the doors.
The Stealthbox came with a JL 13W6v2 for the sub, I'm not sure if thats worth replacing.
I've also ordered a Batcap Powerpack, which is supposed to handle a 8000 watt system and has a 35 Farad capacitor, the manufacturer says it can supply 600 watts @ 30 amps for 15 minutes. This is a 1200 watt system. For speaker wire I'm using Cobalt Cable.
Basically I picked out the most expensive things I could possibly pick.

Damn, I wish the build and install happened online. There would be tons to learn.
OP just wants to get it done and he knows doing it online would be a pain.......15 different people giving their $0.02 and all going in diff directions.
Ok so what if only op and mac were to post till the install is completed? Nah prob wouldnt happen........just wishfull thinking and fishing
am sure it will turn out great -
Good luck. Would love to see some pics in the future!

Sure I'll post updates, I'm just waiting for if and when Arron replies to my last e-mail to post the setup I finally decided on. Almost everything has changed at this point.
