Lol, yeah on most circuit boards that's true but once you get into car audio systems, the only time CAPs are used are for the purpose we've been talking about, basically smoothing the flow of power primarly it was designed for voltage sensitive items, but as power ratings went up so did CAP ratings. There is no doubt that the smoother flowing you can keep the voltage in very high power amplifiers the more efficiently they'll run but they only really have any affect when the peaks are way more than the supply is capable of.
Caps of 5 farad and a lot more are actually quite common in massive ice installs, that's one hell of a "prod"
My power rating was based on your average sized 1 farad cap used in ICE installs something along these lines...
