firstly you dont need to run 2 wires from the batt to have 2 subs just get a power dist block and a fused one at that, run 0 gauge from the batt and then 2 gauge to the amps

capacitors can be a false economy, they are used when you turn up the volume causing the amp to draw more power and the capacitor helps the batt BUT once you have it loud for a few mins the capacitor will run out meaning the batt then has the current draw from the amp at full vol and the capacitor trying to reload - not sure that made sense but you should get the point

what kinda budget you playing with?

i am going to be slowly building my install nothing is set yet but the alpine pdx amps look nice and small, i might just get 1x 4 channel amp using the front two channels to run the comps and the other 2 bridged to run the sub
