will i need a cap to push this system to peak power or do i just need to buy another battery?

You want an amp with a higher power rating than your speakers. You get blown speakers when your amp starts "clipping", working near it's peak. What you have looks fine.
Sparky, I understand clipping fine. Your e-mail proves you aren't reading this right. An amp with higher RMS than the speakers at the same ohms is better than the other way around. I've been an audiophile for 40 years.

How can I make it so my indash DVD will play DVDs while the car is in drive?

Your ratings for peak seem to be ok if you are using a 4 ohm connection. The 2 ohm connection is producing a higher peak wattage than the speaker is rated.potential for a blown sub woofer. You'll know if you "pop" the speaker and the cone ends up in the front seat!

Anyway, as long as your running the subs at 4 ohms and you don't crank the volume past 70%, you'll be fine.
