you don't need caps they're useless as far as the second battery goes just wire the + of the other battery to the + of the batt and then ground the batt to a ground.

yea, if you're going for SPL (boom) then the caps will be useless. They are only good if you like to listen to real recorded music .... i.e. not electronically produced bass tones.

do NOT fuse caps. Run a wire from the 2nd battery + terminal to the + term on the cap, then from the + term on the cap to the amp. Wire the - term on the cap to chassis gound.

where exactly are you sposed to ground your amp? ive got mine grounded to the back of the trunk, but it seems to be causing feed back, are there special locations made for being grounded on?

The grounding point needs to be bare metal ....... take the screw/bolt out and sand it down thoroughly
