I have an XTR 4000.1D 8000 watts, and I need more power, can I use aXS Power D7500 12V AGM Battery (Max Amps 6,000A, CA: 1700, Ah: 140, 5000W / 7500W) and and aftermarket alternator will that fix my problem?
Is this a good question?

@pannell regardless of what vehicle you have, you do want to make sure that your wiring is clean and tight on the terminals and the battery. You could go with a higher amperage alternator but that may not fix it completely due to the spikes in power demand. This will of course depend on your vehicle and which alternators are available. I'd suggest you add a capacitor to your vehicles sound system as well. The cap would smoothen out the power spikes. It should prevent those spikes that draws from your electrical system. Rule of thumb is 1 Farad per 1000W RMS
This site should help you how to conect the caps(s). Brax, Boss, Alumapro and Fosgate have a couple of decent size caps that are meant for this purpose.

Is there a certain type of capacitor or brand that you would recommend, I'm oblivious to this audio world! Also thanks for your time and imput

@pannell "I need more power" where? Your amp? Give us more information about what you are working on and what you are thinking about with this.

@oldturkey03 I had an audio system installed in my car, but my cars stock alternator and battery itself is not giving the power I need! Every time the bass hits my lights dim with the hit of the bass! Also I need more power to the amplifier to make my subs hit harder, because I'm not getting the full potential of the subwoofers I had installed
