Do I need a big 3? H/O Alternator??

Hey so i'm a complete car audio noob.
I got a deck, 1200 watt hifonics amp for my subs, and a yellowtop battery.
When i'm driving, my lights dim when the bass slaps. Sometimes the deck even shuts off for a half sec.
When the car is off, everything is just fine I can get as loud as I want.
So i'm assuming my alternator is not powerful enough to keep up with my system right now. What are my options??
I've heard I could get a cap, a new alternator, and I thought of a big 3 upgrade all by myself. Problem is I really have no idea what i'm talking about can someone help?
