4-gauge wire will support up to around 1000 watts. What size fuse is included in your wiring kit? What is the make/model of the amp?

Currently running in my 98 ford expedition.
to answer the question its a 4gauge /60 amp fuse and amp is AR4000D.

OK. As long as you understand that amp is 1500 watts at best and with a 60-amp fuse in your power cable the max your wiring will support is approximately 860 watts. IMO you can sell the capacitor on Flea-Bay or use it as a paperweight as it's not going to do you any good.
Assuming your woofers are both 2-ohms connect them in parallel to the amp since it claims to be 1-ohm stable. Then set the gain properly (see the Hot Topics forum if you need a how-to.) Consider upgrading the Big 3.

to be able to see how this would all be connected to reach one ohm ? ive used the websites calculator to see if 2ohm and a pair of 4ohm wired to 2 ohm - makes 1 ohm stable, but how to wire it, the site doesn't show a photo of a 2 ohm box and a 2 ohm box wired together to achieve 1 ohm.

if each box rests at 2 ohms then you would treat each box like a single coil speaker. but the short answer is just wire every positive together and every negative together. this should give you the 1 ohm load you so very much desire.

A "2 ohm box" and a "2 ohm box" wired in parallel creates one ohm. It doesn't matter what's in the box.
