I had the same problem with my old memphis amp, try turning the gain down to around 3/4 or 1/2 and then you could turn it up. Basically what is happening the amp is trying to push so much current through and it's shoots itself in and out of protection real quick, because it can't handle the draw. Basically you don't have enough current to keep your amp at full gain. If you still have this issue, you could either upgrade you alternator to a larger one I'd say 200-250 amp, upgrade all grounds, return lines, and sending lines to 4 gauge (alternator to battery, battery to fuse box, battery ground to chassis, battery to starter, starter ground) just to name a few. Or you can buy 2 new batteries to run a secondary, depending on how new the one you have is. If it's old then you have to buy two, because the new battery won't get full amperage if an old battery is in there. Not judging you in any way so don't think I am, but why use a capacitor, no point what-so-ever, they don't help with larger set-ups and higher ampage. They cause more damage than what they are worth. In my opinion, run a secondary battery, upgrade all wiring under the hood, and throw away that damn cap. If you have any more questions let me know, always willing to help.
