No i havent thought a good cap wud b ok but guess not lol and anyone got anything bad to say bout the fosgate p3s

Please tell me why you thought a cap would help?

I am serious we get a ton of new people on this board who think that.

is it something a local store told you or you heard it from your friends?

For years and years now - it has been well proven that caps are close to worthless yet every new person for some reason thinks they are the Black Magic that is going to fix their electrical system.

As far as your problem, how were your gains set? What headunit do you have?

I could sell you a 12" p3 for $100 practically brand new, used it for a week

Foe the money you can spend on a shittty p3 you can get obsidian 15's that will sound better and get louder

Do the big 3 and go on ebay and search shuriken batteries....good batts for cheap

Boss Headunit - that could very well be your problem.

You do know that is about the worse unit made

It is very possible that when you turn it up the radio is failing and no longer sending a good signal to your amp.
