If the lights are dimming it usually means that the amp draw from your amp is to much for what your alternator is putting out. When the car is running the battery doesnt make any difference, the battery is only for starting the car, the alternator charges all the electrical "stuff " while the motor is running. A cap would help because they store power, so in affect its like having a high amp alternator...

will an alternator out of a EF falcon v8 fit? i think they are very similar in physical size and shape, bolt holes. they are 110A. Would proberly slip under full load though with such a narrow belt though
