Are you going to run a four channel amp for the speakers too? If so, I suggest running 1/0 or 4gauge. You can find good kits online, knuconcept, ect.If the MRP-M2000 is the better amp to get than I'll pick it up. On alpine.com they have the SWR-1043D (4 ohm voice coils x2) rated at 600 RMS. Is there a good wiring kit I could pick up to wirer this up? Would I need a power cap?
Power caps are not recommended. Since you getting into a self install, I think you should do it all right the first time.
You should read this and apply this upgrade. How to upgrade the Big Three
Go ahead and use the 1/0 gauge and get a distrabution block to to split the power wire and run 4gauges to each amp you use.
There is a term, phase, stage that most will recomend That is called the big 3.
