Listed below are the items I'll be installing soon. I've already ordered the first 4-ch, 600w amp for my 5x7 speakers. I'm thinking about getting the same exact one to power the 2 dvc subs. I don't know that much about all of this so I need to know if that set up will be ok? Would an identical amp be suitable for the subs as well? More importantly, can our alt. run 2 600w amps at the same time? Lastly, I was hoping to get some feedback on whether or not I'll need a capacitor.

good amp for highs and mids but if you want to push subs I would go with a two channel or a monoblock.

I recomend getting the cap. or at least plan on getting one installed in the near future. Gotta protect your investment.

that is a class A/B amp not a D class, so it may not be ideal for your subs but it will work much better thent he 600 watt version
your two dvc subs will be either wirered to run at 4 ohms or 1 ohm...at 1 ohm you will blow those amps up most likely...and at 4 ohms you will only be getting 200 to each sub..but either way it is better then the four channel amp..
if your wires are appropriately sized and your connections are good and clean and your alt wires have been upgraded then theere is no need for a cap...
there is not much sense installing the setup without good wires...also for two different amps you will need a fused distrobution block as well as a ANL fuse upfront
