If you've got a hellatious stereo set-up you could need a stronger battery an maybe even alternator to pull more juice. Ground wires could prolly help to.

Got Subs? Try using a capacitor. A bigger alternator would an imrovement probably, but if you draw to much power off of a small battery a big alternator won't help too much.
