Are you buying dual 2 or 4 ohm?

cap is optional. I would say get a good 1200 rms x 1, 1 ohm stable amp. AQ 1200d would work. Alpine makes a nice 1000 rms amp as well. Could go with RF or a MD.1D. Many, many options really.

Dont waste your money on a cap. Your gonna need an amp thats 1ohm stable then. This would be good for what need. http://www.audioque.com/aq/AQamps.htm
