Your budget is going to determine what you can get. Looking at car audio without a budget is like a kid let loose in candy store you look at all the stuff and go gee that looks good. Then you discover some fairly basic 'looking' SQ systems cost twice as much as the car. Bring on the Focal Utopia Be speakers complete with white gloves to handle them and the custom metal case for shipping. Then power that with a nice Audison Thesis amp.

What i'm aiming for is a bit similar to your design but tilted back a bit more... and the amp in between the 2 subs.

Attached to the sub-enclosure? I'm not sure an amp can take that constant vibration. Lose the spare it doesn't fit if you have upgraded wheels anyway . Thats what TripleA is for, emergencies. Post pix when you can!

Wow lots of great examples of systems on here, nice job guys

Hmmm, for a system for the Fit, I would reccomend going with a pair of Alpine 10" R-Type subs coupled up with a digital clarion amp. I have always found this to be a great combination for hatchbacks. Plus don't cheap out on the wiring, if you are going to run those subs you will need at least 4 guage so you don't starve your amp. Wire in a cheap 1 farad cap to pull it all together. Anyway, that is my 2 cents

Just a final tip for the original poster:
If you are going to spend the money on equipment, also spend the money on DEADENING the hatch!! Nothing is worse than a car that goes by farting

Answers my question.. If the charging system can power and amp to push 2 W7's then it should be fine to push a PPI A600 with 3 w3 10's..

I see your running a 500/1.. Is that enough power for those w7's?

I was thinking of running a PPI A1200 but I know for sure that it would eat the stock alternator in no time.. I guess ill settle for a PPI A600 which should let the alternator go for a little while longer..

He's running two 10W6v2's. Plenty of power for those subs. I have a 500/1 on two 13W3's. Add in another good amp for full range speakers and the electrical system is stressing badly.

The stock alternator is 60 amps max. This is not at idle, this is not on the highway, this is only when your engine is revved somewhere above 4000 rpms. Good be at 6000. At idle, you might get 20 amps. A PPI A600 probably has a 35-50 amp draw, depending on your volume listening and type of program material. Hip hop will demand more from your amp than symphony music.

Hmm.. Ill have a A404 on the front speakers and a A200 on the rear.. Looks like Ill probably have to get my stock alternator rewound for more amperage..

damn thats a lot of power for such a little car. i could even imagine how loud two w7's are, my one w2 is freaking loud enough for me, all of my mirrors rattle like hell, they would prolly fall off if i put anything bigger. damn, i wish u could make a video on how much your mirrors rattle when that thing is playing!

My windshield wipers bounce because my windshield is moving about 3/16 ".
As for the mirror....fagettaboutit. After my Nav gets put in, I'm thinking about a rear camera. I already had run a video cable to the back.
