I have 2 lt1920 watt amps ran 0 gauge till distribution. Should i get 2 caps after the block each being 2.0 farad (obeying .5 farad for 500 max) or get a 4.0-5.0 cap before distribution

A car battery has like 10,000 farads and is cheaper and more efficient in the long run. If your lights are dimming get a high output alternator or if you must get a 2nd battery over a cap.

What kind of amp is it?

A battery would with stand more punishment that a cap; however, if that amp even does 2k rms you need a high output alt.
