Sounds like a bad battery or the amp or capacitor is bad. 13.8 cannot be resting battery voltage, The best a battery can generate is around 12.6-12.8 volts. They have six cells that each make 2.1-2.14 volts.
Have the battery and alternator tested to be sure they are okay. If they test good then you can try connecting just the amp alone, then try just the cap alone. Whichever one causes the problem is the issue.
