power cap would solve the problem of them cutting out (providing everything is wired up ok?) no idea about the changing tracks tho mate... someone else on here will probably be able to help you out with that... personally not heard of that happening before. good luck m8.

There is several things that could cause this,

too small enclosures? what size are your sub boxes?
Also what wattage is your amp? and do you need thicker cables that what you are running?? what gauge are the power and earth cables

Yup, was just about to say the same thing - no way will a cap solve your problems, infact caps rarely solve many problems

i would upgrade your wiring to something bigger, then the battery, then the "big 3" then the alternator - one (or more) is bound to solve your problem
