Yup as True said...use a batcap, or get a smaller 12V battery.  The shop I used to work at, installed them alot.  cheaper than a Cap.  and the power is more instant.  BTW:  The amp will work nicely.  Jsut make sure you break the subs in before cranking the gain up..

a batcap is basically a battery like I said, think I worded it wrong.  sorry..

It's hooked up like a cap, except you don't have to charge it up, since it's a battery it is charged. 

Reason I said smaller 12V battery is cause that's what it is...instead of a battery the size of the one under your hood, it's about teh size of a riding lawn mower battery. 

It works in the same manner as a Cap, except, the power seems to be delivered mroe quickly, than it does with a cap.  And the meet power demands more efficiently.  What I've started to do is this..batteries on Sub Amps, and Caps on the mids and highs.  Reason being, the lower the frequency goes the greater teh demand for power.

hope that helps

it's easy...

I assume you're using a distribution block, or running seperate bat. lines..whatever flaots your boat..

for the battery, just but it inline with the amps power....

so...the battery line going to the Sub amp..will be hooked up to the positive...

Ok let me try this again...I jsut confused myself...

ok..for the sub amp with Battery:

Take the 12V line from the battery, and hook it to the positive terminal of the battery that you're using as a "cap" ( the smaller one )..hook the amp also up to the positive terminal...ground the battery where you are grounding the amps.  I hope that made sense..if it didn't repost, and I'll see if I have a diagram I can e-mail you, or I'll draw on and scan it in..First system need suggestion - Page 2 -- posted image....yup I'm that lazy..

As far as the Caps...do the same thing...jsut follow the directions on chargin the cap..

if you're still confused e-mail  me         deathsdementedjester420@hotmail.com  and I'll send you a diagram...and hope I didn't confuse you too much...
