No, the only thing a capacitor really does is quicken the amp's responce time.

Unless your lights are dimming or sumthin like that, you should be fine.

In a way, a capacitor is a little like a battery. Although they work in completely different ways, capacitors and batteries both store electrical energy. If you have read How Batteries Work, then you know that a battery has two terminals. Inside the battery, chemical reactions produce electrons on one terminal and absorb electrons at the other terminal.
A capacitor is a much simpler device, and it cannot produce new electrons -- it only stores them. In this edition of HowStuffWorks, you'll learn exactly what a capacitor is and how it's used in electronics.
