caps from my experience doesnt seem to help much.. I ran a 10 farad with a aq1200 and 2 fosgate t1s and couldnt tell that it did anything other than tell me when my volts dropped too low.. lighta on the car still dimmed

Some people say yes and most people say no. If you're driving a 1995 civic, your car is wired with 8ga and your lights are dimming a little when the bass hits a nice 2 farad cap will probably help.

you only really need a capacitor if you plan on running a serious system. it only helps...it wont make or break what you have going on

No you dont, instead of spending money on a cap you can just spend it to upgrade your cars electical, start with the big 3 then you can replace alt get extra batts etc the bigger your system gets
