You shouldnt need anything else. Maybe just ring connectors to hook up to battery terminals and to attatch your ground to.
How big is the amp you are running? Are you sure you need a capacitor? You would be better off running a high output alternator. Might also want to upgrade your battery if you havent already.

1 is a 980 Watt max 2 channel, and the other is a 600 Watt 4 channel amp.

Im assuming you are running a distribution block? You will probably want to run 1/0 to the distro block and run 4 to each amp. I would definitely look into a high output alternator though, a capacitor is only a bandaid to a lacking charging system.

Sounds to me like he's running 2 amps................a 2 channel and a 4 channel.

Yea i do have 2 amps. But why do i need a distribution block for? I went to 3 audio places and only 1 place talked about using a distribution block. The others said dont worry about it i dont need one.. i mean is it nessisary?

I would use one. How else are you gonna split the power between 2 amps? Get an amped one too if you can. Just an extra safeguard.

Oh, didn't see the post where he said two amps. You need a distro block, how else would you get power to both amps?
