Lastly I wanted to upgrade the head unit and get a capacitor. I’d like it to be simplified. And I’d rather not spend $3000 at radioactiv for a subpar system.

JL makes a wheel well sub box for our cars. It comes with a woofer, not the one you mentioned. IMO, caps are totally unnecessary, especially for the system you are building. An amp should have enough power for a woofer. I think 200 to 500 watts is a good size sub amp. I had a 100watt x 2 sony Mobile ES amp hooked to two 15" Rockford Fosgate DVC woofers. It hit 137db. So, not all amps are created equal. Anyway, you get what you pay for. (luckily these days car stereos are way cheaper than in the 90's when I was installing them)
