Default amp cutting out, any ideas

right. i have a vibe active sub with inbuilt amp total 1200w, witch has its own power earth and remote, ive aslo got a splx 400w amp running some vibe 600w speakers through a 1 farad power cap. this has its own live and earth but i have split the remote. my problem is when the hole lot is turned up, when a large bass note plays my amp cuts out (splx)and the red light comes on. the power cap is reading around 13 - 14 volts, my first thought is that i might need a bigger alternator, but surely the power cap would have sorted it if it was taking too many amps. anyone have any ideas
thanks in advance
