get a capacitor with at least two farrads, take the power cable from the battery straight to the cap, connect the cap to a distribution block, connect each amp to the block and should be good.

Is it dimming headlights on hard hits or are the subs just not performing at all? If its dimming you need a Capacitor as suggested. If it's just not enough you'd be much better off buying a better single amp.

do the 140 amp alt swap from a 95 roadmaster buick thats what I did. All ya have to do is trade pullies. Then you got enough pwr for your amps. You can just run another pwr wire to the other amp. There is plenty of info on the web about this swap.

never mind another battery, get a capacitor as suggested it is just like a battery it stores voltage but for your stereo. It will help take the load off your alternator and battery and will increase your power to the amps tenfold!
