Our team's sponsor has recently purchased a car stereo system to put onto our robot for all of our exhibition needs. It is a totally wicked idea, i must admit, save for one problem. I have managed to get most of the system working (I.E. speakers/amplifier) however, the sub-woofer draws too much power from the 12 volt battery itself and just shuts itself off. The amplifier specs can be viewed here:

and the woofer specs here:

I have already tried to hook two batteries in parallel to the system, and that worked a little, yet we still have too much draw. Furthermore, I have looked into amplifier capacitors only to confuse myself with the dilemma of farads. If anyone has any ideas, they would help, Thanks!
