Battery will be fine, it doesn't make a difference, but the alternator probably won't be able to provide the power needed to run the audio and charge the battery depending on what other gadgets are in the car and how loud you have the stereo. A better understanding of physics and acoustics would serve you far better than £1000 worth of unneccesary weigh in your car and an huge bill for an uprated alternator just to say you've got a sub.
If i was you i might shop up the cash to get each speakers and then a head unit. I changed mine with kenwood type s in my 2000 ford explorer along with a pioneer cd participant. The sound fine is excellent plus they work first-rate with the 12's i have in the again.
