Kicker ZX rated at 12.0V, so it does somewhat about 2.5 kwrms at 12V. My vote is for Kicker

Good choice However, you won't be getting full power out of it with a stock alt. My MG alt is 200a and I still get voltage drops; it's not big enough.

Well then you won't be getting all the power you paid for. Amps aren't magical, they need input to make output.

Caps you can just totally forget about, cross those off your list. The problem with many bats and a small alt is that your alt will have a hell of a time charging those bats once your amp is ******* current out of them. Your amp can **** current faster than your alt can charge.
