 Everything in the back is audiobahn, the deck is a pioneer, and all the rest of the speakers are stock atm but still sound pretty damn good imo. The caps do help a lil and pluse they give it a good look.

no cavaliers need a cap no matter if you have a good ground or not. the lights dim becues of the voltage.

 why just cavaliers? im pretty sure if i can not make the lights dim on a beat up old banger 91' rolla, with a huge system spl rated, i can not make it dim on a cavalier. i was using just a normal battery too. when the bass hits, and the voltage drops which causes the lights to dim, there is just not enough resistance. good grounds fix that.
