No don't need a cap for a small amp like that.

Capacitors only help if your amp is not regulated.

So I finished the install today and I have 3 problems:

1.) There is a high pitched frequency noise that can be heard when there is no sound going through the speakers. At first it sounded like it was coming from behind me but might be the amp...hope it's not the sound of the amp operating.

2.) When starting the car up there is a pop in the speakers.

3.) I took the seat off and after reconnecting it, it still blinks for "passenger seats"

any advice? Thanks

High pitched sound; I would double check the ground wire and possibly redo it. That might also rid you of the pop in speakers.

Make sure when ground is done it's on bare metal..

Sorry to keep buging you guys but this is not as easy as I thought it would be. So I mounted the amp under the passenger seat and tried using velcro to keep it in place, but it's not working. I want to know how you usually mount amp in that area, also is there a certain way that you tune the amp? I haven't even touched it yet because I wanted some advise before I mess it up.
