Update: Ive been talking to a few guys at the local sound dealers and they seem to think that 1 500/1 amp is enough to power 3 jl 10w1v2 and if i go with a 1000 watt and put a 4th jl in the stock spot I would need a second battery and possibly an alternater is there anyone that has this setup or is full of it?
Im torn between
1000/1 with 4 10w1v2 / 3v3
500/1 with 3 10w1v2

First of all im sorry for any stupid already answered questions im new to mods on newer cars. I baught this car before summer and decided to put a system in it, I baught a 3x10 fiber carbon box that goes under the tower and amp rack from nazar.
Now the original owner put a kicker in the place of the stock 1 and ran 8 gage wire to a 250 watt kicker amp from what it appears the wires from the amp are ran to the stock bose but i am not entirely sure. The pioneer touch screen also came with the car when i baught it.
I want your opinion with what color scheme I should do and also if i should take the kicker amp and woofer out and put jl in and redo it or leave the kicker woofer and amp in and just wire the 1 amp in the amp tray for the 3 jls and put the cappacitors next to it in the rack.
The box cappacity is 1.8 - 2.0 cu ft all together I was told jl 10w 3v3-8 would be ideal and not sure about what amp. Im not exactly sure I just want to do it right the first time thankyou for reading

Ditch that Kicker amp and sub...take 'em out because they are dead weight.
Next, look at all of your subwoofer options as JL W3's are not the be all end all of subs. Look at ID, RE, DD, Realm, Hertz or whatever else and make sure you get an amp to match. The JL slash series amps are great because they'll do their rated power from 1.5-4 ohms. Thats pretty sweet for matching up subs to the amp.
Colour scheme? Shouldn't we know what color your Z is? Do body color or a nice black vinyl wrap if you have leather seats or even black fabric. get creative - it doesn't have to be paint!
