What kind of car is it?

What system are you running from it?

Chances are your charging system is too weak.

Is the 1920 watts maximum power or continuous (RMS) power? I'd get the cap out of the system, how long has the cap been in there?

And when did the problem first appear?

I would guess the alternator is going bad on you, 880 watts RMS is a lot of power for a stock alt, especially with the added burden of a cap.
