Look at perhaps a 150 to 200 ampere alternator by a company such as Lestech. run that to an isolator then to both your main car battery, for which I'd use an Interstate MegaTron, and to a second battery, for which I'd go with a Deep Cycle type of battery in the 1000
CCA range. Run all of this, *including ground wires* with either 4ga. or 1/0ga. cable.
From the Deep Cycle battery, go to a parallel-block of 3 1farad capacitors, then to a power distrobution block, where you can drop to 8-ga. cable to each amplifier.
Use a circuit breaker and/or fuse about 12" from each battery, in a housing (ceramic or glass fuse) by someone like PG, Esoteric, Stinger, or what have you. Use one of the smaller-fuse blocks between the Deep Cycle and amps, fusing each amplifier as well.
Ground all devices as close to that individual component as possible, to eliminate interference/noise.
That's about how I would(did, in fact) run the power for a decent competition car.
