With your lights on let your system run at full power on a constant bass note. If the lights dim for a split second and then return to normal brightness, a capacitor might help. If the lights dim and stay dim for the length of the note, you simply do not have an adequate supply of power, for which the only permanent solution would be a higher output alternator.
