You really don't even need a second battery. Just get one of those upgraded batteries, i think their like gel batteries or something. Upgrading your alt is only needed for HUGE systems. If you were running a 1000 watt RMS amp and actually pushing i would see a possilbe up grade in alt. All a cap really is, is a small second batter. It holds a charge.

incorrect a cap is NOT a battery and does not have the ability to recharge itself with NO external supply = not a battery

Caps can discharge energy a lot faster than a battery can. They are only there to supplement voltage drops that most batteries couldn't keep up with.
