couldn't have said it better myself, well except the capacitors part,

CAPS SUCK! Do not use a cap cause you want extra power, or you want your lights to stop dimming. Caps are for SQ systems for a little extra punch on peak notes. If anything at all, get an additional battery, possibly 2, drycells into your trunk. This will completely isolate the cars battery with the systems.

Partly ditto..

But there is another important use for caps. Isolating the power supply. When playing loud, and your amps has to generate the wattage to play a higher than average load of material (generally bass), instead of striking directly on the alt, it'll take what it can from the Cap, and the rest of the load is what the Alt needs to deal with.

So its kind of a protection for the Alt. Even for those with HO alts. Cause we know, an alt cant instantaneously produce required amperage.
