Default How Do I Choose A Capacitor?

hi i was wondering how do i choose a capacitor that is suitable for my sony mono block amp model xm-6001gxd?

its operating voltage is 10.5-16V allowable

so what if i get a cap that has a bigger voltage surge than 16 V? will it fry my amp?

what does this mean:

Capacitance -/+ 5%
20-24 Volt Surge, 105°
Ultra low ESR <0.002 ohms, +/- 20% tolerance

what is capacitance? what does the percentage mean? the higher the better or lower the better? what is ESR and +/- tolerance?

someone explain to me thanks
