You will need a bigger battery or alternator.a capacitor only works as good as the charging system. On my system im running off the single battery still. which is 890 CCA

but your on the stock battery. and with all the electronic things in these cars a strong battery is a must. the faster the battery can charge the better. that's why dry cells are the way to go

and the amp can only produce power, with what it has to use. you will notice a difference in the sound with a new battery too.

So when i go to autozone just ask them for the SVR? One more question when i upgrade my wire from 8 gauge to 4 gauge would i have to change the remote wire also that probably comes in the pack?

The big three may look challenging but it really isn't. Instantly notice a huge difference with next to nothing out of pocket. Only need wires and fittings. truly the best bang for the buck IMO.
