Wrong answer. Is your amp supposed to put out 1000w max or continuous? Do you know its max current draw? What makes you think that you're not getting enough power?

It's possible. However, I'm willing to bet that whatever problems he has (if any), can easily be fixed.

find out if the amp is 1000w RMS or 1000 w peak if its peak you shouldnt need anything if its RMS get a cap. 1 farad at least maybe 1.5 farad.

If your lights dim a cap may make it worse. It'd be significantly cheaper to replace your ground wires, which could also solve your problem.
