  1. Poor ground connection (loose or corroding grnd)? Add more grounds? Possibly popping when batts voltage sits low? Rca prob in amp? Bad signal cables? Double check wiring of head unit?
  2. You will have to take breaks from the stereo to give the stock alt a chance to catch up. Even then, it is not guaranteed that it will be able to keep them at a Full charge. And the more you let the batts discharge, the harder it is on the alt. Monitor the heat of the alt casing. If it is too hot at touch, back off the stereo and let it charge. You mentioned you think your alt is 125, so of course it will do significantly less at low rpm. The only way to get near the highest rating is at highway speeds 2 or 3k rpm for a consistent length in time. Stop and go city driving is nearly considered idle. Until taxes get here and you get your new alt, good luck!!
  3. By adding the second batt on stock, the alt is then presented with the obstacle of keeping 2 batts up to charge. This may give advantage towards your amp, but puts more load on the alt. Also put this in mind. A regular lead acid batt has a differ purpose. Even if it has high cca, that is used for 30 second bursts such as car starting. They aren't designed for discharge pressure from a stereo and such. You are looking for high AH and RC. If you were persistent on using another batt on stock, a sealed will store charge easier, longer, and will be easier for the alt to maintain the charge.
