Don't get a capacitor. 4awg would be good, probably would be overkill for a pyramid.

did you already get the pyramid...?

1.) Don't get a capacitor.

2.) Peak power is meaningless; do you know the RMS rating of those amps? Although, I seriously doubt they'll do anywhere near rated power.

Your amp is putting out 50w x 2 at 4 ohms and 75w at 2 ohms depending on how the voice coils are wired up and then ohms. And thats at 14.4v from your battery.

What are you trying to acheive from your system
