speaker upgrade

the 2001 Hyundai Accent with stock alternator, put a 850 CCA Eliminator battery in which was really needed, ran 4 gauge wire for BIG 3 (guess in my case it would MEDIUM 3), any how no more whining,but now I have 2 15 inch DVC 4 ohm subs rated at 1000 watts rms each. Each sub is getting 300 watts and the remaining 4 speakers in the car are getting 50 watts each. So total system power is around 800 watts rms. Problem is, now when i stop at a stop sign, the voltage on my cap reads 12 to 11.5 volts, volume around 28 of 62, Bass Boost on deck 0, subwoofer cross over set to 80 hz at 0 db, again on deck and the amp supplying my front and rear speakers cuts in and out until I start to drive ahead and the voltage goes up. Amp gains have been set with Bass Boost on amp set to less than a quarter of its full rotation about 3db, Bass amplifiers never cut out, just the amp for the remaining speakers.Any suggestions.

Ditch the capacitor. How are the subs wired to the 4ch amp?

The rca out from the deck is split using a y adapter so the left side has red and white male connectors so the dvc sub gets the same signal and the amp for the right side has the same configuration.Each sub gets equal power.
