Your setup need to be checked completely before making any recomendation due to the power drop, could be a small problem & not necessary to add batteries or replace alternator.

he has 4 subs with 2 x 2ch amp
so i assume its 2 ohm load. first of all, the amp might be under power therefore its draining too much power.

adding caps may or may not help.
suggest to thread starter to post what kind of amps and subs he's using
too generic to tell now

before you add/ change/ modify anything onto your charging system...

i suggest you look for the cause for the low voltage output...

adding another battery now only adds more problem to the charging system... its not charging well one battery already and you wan to force it to charge two batteries... surely efficiency goes now...

cheers...

To solve your problem, think of this theory; "If Mohd don't come to you, go to him instead'. Guarantee Kow-Tim settled. thumbup.gif
