you'd need at least a 4ga amp wiring kit for that setup, and i'd personally reccommend MonsterCable's kits. i have the 8ga one and its very nice and seems well worth the [high] price. if you want lower price but still quality, Scosche is also pretty good for the money from my experience. i couldnt say either way for the others like StreetWires and Lightning Audio

Caps are really depending on the class of your amp correct?
