I bought 2 10" alpine type x subs and i’m wondering if a Lanzar HTG264 amplifier would a good amp to power these and i’m not sure if i need a capacitor or not……also what gauge wire on an amp kit should i get for best wound quality?
well that amp looks to have too small of power handling to work with those subs. odds are you will need 0/0 guage wiring a 200 amp alternator plus replacing alot of ground wires to make sure you get good power to the amp.
Will this amp work, and do i need a capacitor ?

Alpine X nice… the amp. will power you speakers but not well it will cut off and on if you turn it up too high. When buying an amp. for your subs make sure the amp.RMS voltage is the same or higher as both the subs RMS voltage doing so will help you get the best sound. Using 0/0 wire might be over doing it but 4 gauge will be good enough. Capacitors will be something you might want to look into your amp will be using a lot juice from you battery so my suggestion is to take some time and look into that…

If your headlight dims with the bass notes, the “BIG 3” might work. If not an H.O. alternator will be needed, or else be prepared to pour a lot of $$$ for batteries.
This site explains the "BIG 3" upgrades.
