well... DUH! why wouldn't you want to understand what you're doing to your car?!?! not to bash TFP, but there's probably a couple hundred better places to research audio on the internet. TFP is a melting pot, which is cool... but jack of all trades, master of none.
that said, i've got an EE degree and a minor audio obsession, so hopefully you've gotten some decent advice. Nelson is spot on, too.
in summary:
- run one amp that is rated ~800 W at 2 ohms. doesn't really matter if it's marginally above or below that rating.
- run two 4-ohm subs in parallel to the amp. put them in boxes as suggested by the manufacturer.
that's all you need to do for now. if you have light dimming or other problems, it's time to troubleshoot, but $1 says a cap won't help.
