I'd like to try a 15" CVR on 600 ~watts in an enclosure like that. I've had 3 different single 10s on 400-600 watts, two different single 12s on 1000-1800 watts, two 12s on 1800 watts, and 2 10s on 1200-1800 watts and most of them sounded great in the hatch of the Z

yep, that is true which made the choice a little easier because you can't use the trunk more much anyways...lol.

Keeping stock battery for the moment and adding a BatCap 400 (maybe use 800 eventually).
Wiring will be 4 awg from battery to BatCap and distribution and 8 awg from distribution blocks to amps.
The final system will be powered by 1 Alpine PDX 1.1000 (sub) and 2 Alpine DPX 4.150s (front stage)
Running active filtering with Alpine H701
3-way setup:
DLS UR1 - 1.1" Tweeters
DLS ULTIMATE Iridium 3 - 3" Midranges
MW166-4ohm 6" Damped polymer composite cone Woofers
Sub:
Dayton Titanic MK-III 15"

I appreciate the offer, but I have a few friends who install and compete here in the Sarasota area. I am hoping to be done before Spring Break Nationals, but don't think that is going to happen.
In the future I will look into going with the Stinger, but for now I already have the BatCap 400.

kicker is my favorite mainstream brand
for a reason
they get hella loud
and installed in the proper enclosure , with proper power , they sound great
i am not surprised by the kicker overtaking the alpine

this being said , looking at my set up compared to others in hatchback cars that compete , mine set up looks quite clean actually
i have heard a few times from different 350z members that they do feel my boxes look out of place in the Z so your not the 1st to mention
no problem brother
