The reason your voltage is dropping so low is because that amp alone draws 80 + amps. A capacitor will not give you any more current which is what you need. I would defiantly suggest that you get at least a 200 amp alternator.

if u want to go cheap auto zone can get you a high amp alternator and also might think about getting a second battery while you are there they should have a cheap dual battery kit there also. i know our autozone offers one that isolates the two batteries much like a diesel setup. if u have room under the hood but if not then go custom with it

everyone calls me subwoofer

Just remember you get what you pay for As far as the 2nd battery goes unless you listen to the radio with the car off for extended amounts of time you do not need a 2nd battery.
