you want to look at rms rating - dont pay attention to peak

you should probably get a different amp because it probably does not put out its rated power.

that is probably 4000 peak - the amp doesnt even put out 2k rms

you should get a HO alt with anything over 1000rms - a cap will not help in this situation

forget about the capacitor if you don't have a good charging system.

Don't buy legacy, is cr4p

The subs you're installing, are they 4 or 2 ohms DVC?

Don't buy 2 channel for bass, use monoblock class D amp
