how to tell if you need a stiffening capacitor on your car audio system (read, if you want to waste money):

# using a datalogging voltmeter, sampling at above 50Hz, measure the voltage supply to your amplifier(s) at the amplifier end.
# begin sampling voltage
# turn on stereo to usual listening volume and play for a minute whilst car is running
# Turn off stereo, and stop sampling
# download samples into PC and graph
# if you see voltage drop more than 1V very frequently, start to give a shit, or upgrade your cables.
# Install capacitor and measure again. Smack yourself silly if there is no difference.

I tend to go by the method, if you hear clipping, and your wiring is tiptop, get a cap
