Multiple capacitors for one amp, worth it or not?

I have a 1 farad cap and a rockford 800a2.. If I get the bussbar that allows me to connect 3 capacitors together, will my lights STILL dim at high volumes? I'm looking into getting a high output alternator but I cannot find any local dealer that sells stinger alternators...

No save your money and get a HO altanator. Caps only provide energy for less than a second. After that it is drawing off the battery again. Anytime you have a constant bass your caps will drain immediately.
