This didn't look to bad. What would you advise to run between one 4 channel amp and one mono amp?

What size amps?
I'm running 2 1-Farad Voodoo caps on my main power line feeding a 400Wrms 4ch, and a 1600Wrms subwoofer amp. Most of the time it's fine, but I still get a mild case of dimming at some stop lights if the volume is above 25/35.

Before you go throwing money away on a cap make a couple of upgrades to the factory wiring first. Replace the tiny ground wire with a section of 4AWG like I have in this photo. Also replace the +12V cable going across to the other side of the engine bay.

This is the other end of the +12V cable upgrade.

If you get the cap try to mount it as close to your subwoofer amp as possible. This is where it will do the most good. Since the bass places the highest current demands on the car's charging system the closer the cap is to the subwoofer amp the better.

All I'm gonna tell you is to be careful. Don't know how knowelagable you are in electronics but a 1 farad capacitor is very powerful and could easily kill a few grown men with one shock.
