You are correct with the rms and ohm load you will have. Do you have a budget in mind? I have a feeling 500 watts is gonna be on the high side for this little guy so we won't go much over that. I wouldn't recommend a capacitor.
Do you have any space constraints?

I'm still trying to figure out wtf finiding means. Is it kind of like docking? Or more like sounding?

Here's some quick finds.
I believe the nvx and soundqubed are China boards, but they should work fine for what you have
Kicker 300 watts at 4 ohms
Nvx 390 watts at 4 ohms
Soundqubed 530 watts at 4 ohms

I'm sure there's better amps out there but for this size system there's a lot you'll find success with and few you'll be disappointed in. Just don't buy a boss or something lol.

Ps don't mind slo. He's. . . . Slow

It’s not power that usually blows subwoofer. It’s distortion. 500 W it is a little overboard, but it shouldn’t hurt your sub, as long as your amp is throwing out clean power. Just make sure your amp is of decent quality. As stated earlier, no Boss!

Yeah I have no idea what that means. Is that like some backroom of the gay bar slang?
