A: Not really. A cap prevents the sound from deteriorating due to under-voltage, but doesn't actually improve the sound. It supports the amplifier by feeding it the power it needs for short bursts. So, while not improving sound quality directly, a cap does make it easier for the amp to perform its best.

What does a power amp capacitor do?
Capacitors store electricity as instant power available for your amplifier. If the amplifier draws more current than is available from the electrical system directly, the capacitor covers the difference up to its stored capacity. The battery is not overloaded and the car voltage remains steady.
Will a capacitor make my subs louder?
One of the causes of poor-performing subwoofers is lack of power. If a high-powered subwoofer is not getting the power it needs, then it will produce a weaker sound. A capacitor helps supply power to the subwoofer's amplifier during times of peak performance.
Why capacitor is used in amplifier?
Coupling capacitors are essential components in amplifier circuits. They are used to prevent interference of a transistor's bias voltage by AC signals. In most amplifier circuits, this is achieved by driving the signal to the base terminal of a transistor through a coupling capacitor.
What size capacitor do I need for a 2500 watt amp?
