capacitor and starting problem

i've already did a search on capacitor and no answer has been found...... right after i got my system put in.. which is a 2 12" subs.. with a 800x2 amp... and it was working find but the day afterwards.. when i drove a little and got into a gas station, and just as i was about to take off.. my car wouldn't start... the starting motor would go.. but my car wouldn't start... and after like 40 seconds of trying to start the car.. it finally started... and then a week afterwards.. which is today... i parked my car.. and tried to take off again.. but my car wouldn't start.. same problem as before.... can the capacitor fix this problem.. or do i have a deeper issue? what can i do to fix this problem... any help will be appreciated.. thanks

capacitor has nothing to do with it... and is it 800x2 rms or 800x2 peak

was the engine turning...or really bogging and wouldn't crank??.
A Cap cannot fix anything...it can only mask effects...if your battery keeps getting drained down..you need a High Output alternator..($616 shipped for a 160 amp alternator)..What amp are you running exactly?

the engine was turning.. and it would crank.. but just wouldn't start... but after like 30 seconds of trying to start the engine it started.. and now its alright... this is the second time that happend.. and this happend a week apart... and i am running a interfire if 2900b.. which is 800x2 or 600x2 peak power.. i believe... but not certain.. and i've only bought the car like 3 or 4 weeks ago.... i'm not concern with the problem that much, because it doesn't happend all the time.. and it doesn't happend continuously... but should i be concerned? is this problem going to a repeating problem..?

It's not related to the sound system then....take it to Honda there may be a error with your ECU
