Sounds like you might need a new battery.

install a capacitor, 1 farad per 1000w of system power. So that will be about a 3 farad capacitor.

Installing a cap can be dangerous, if you get shocked the cap you can get hurt or be killed.

if the cap don’t work then install a secondary battery like a optima battery. It is a gel cell so you wont get acid gas leak like a regular battery.

add an alternator as a last resort.

try having the alternator and the battery checked in it first,that would be a lot better than just replacing them,there may be something else like a bad ground wire causing this to happen,good luck with it.

Beef up the alternator and battery. If you are going to listen to your system when your engine isn’t running, you might even want to go with two batteries. I’m pretty sure you have enough room under the hood for another battery, if not you can put the second one in the trunk.
