By now the solution seems to be clear:

1) Largest gauge and shortest run mains possible.
2) High capacity battery.
3) High output alternator.
4) Use money budgeted for capacitors for items one through three above,
unless you want to spend it for "show not go."

That is one solution, all depending on how you value capacitors.
There is also the issue of price. It looks like a 1 farad caps is
less then $100 normally. A high output alternator for my car is
going to cost somewhere around $300 to $400.

Personally I think a cap is a much better investment then a high
output alternator, assuming your alternator has enough umph to drive
the system, normally. Which it is my understanding most alternators
do until the system reachs the 1000+ watts area.
