This is where my opinion comes in.
I don't think capacitors won't work... I just think that they won't do the job for most people and they most certainly shouldn't be the first "fix". They truly are a band-aid for dimming issues.
Bass-heavy music is much more taxing on your electrical that 'regular' music.
But, I think there's a lot more to our Civics than has been discussed. Such as the ELD that prevents the alt from supplying the battery with more power, thus causing the batt to max out @ 12.8v unless you 'tell' the alternator to kick things up by revving the engine or flashing your headlights. Lost saw this discussion in another forum. I asked about bypassing the ELD in the tech forum here but got no response.
