Could you post the model of the amp here? And no, you do not need a capacitor. A good 0 gauge amp kit will run about $50 for CCA or $100 for OFC, give or take some.

try to buy stuff based on RMS ratings not peak power ratings for a start. Brands like Lanzar, boss, pyramid, pyle, power accoustik really likes using fake bloated numbers to sell to car audio newbies looking for the biggest number possible. The sad truth is the performance is not there at all.

Edit:

This might be the amp your talking about Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Lanzar VCT2610 6,000-Watt 2-Channel High-Power Mosfet Amplifier This will need 4 gauge wire.

Actual owner's manual specs from another reviewer on amazon

RMS Power @4 Ohms 300 watts x2

THD @4 Ohms 450 watts x2

RMS Power @2 Ohms 600 watts x2

THD @2 Ohms 900 watts x2

Maximum Power Output @2 Ohm 6,000 watts x1

Bridged Power @4ohm 8,000 watts x1

Low Level Impendance Input: 10K Ohms

Low Level Sensitivity Input: 200mV-6V Adjustable

S/N Ratio: 95dB

Channel Separation: 65dB

Chrossover Filters-

Low Pass:40 Hz-150 Hz

High Pass:40 Hz-250 Hz

Bass Boost: 0~+18dB

Stereo Mode: 2-4 Ohms

Bridged Mode: 4-8 Ohms

Fuse Size: 60A x2

Power Supply Voltage: 14.4V DC Neg. Ground (10.5-16V)

They claim 600 rms per channel at 2 ohms, but i still doubt thats clean power.

The amp will work with your subs even if its only tickling them. If you want to get loud, see if you can return the amp and get something along the lines of Precision Power PPI BK1800.1D Black Ice 1800W Monoblock Class-D Amplifier This amp would do a solid 2000 RMS which is perfect for type Rs. You'll need 0 gauge wire for this amp since its a lot more powerful and requires thicker gauge wire.
