Have a dual alternator set up?

Post a pic here.

Where did you mount it?

Did you buy a braket or make your own?

Because even that setup will cause the notorious headlight dimming when bass hits. Caps will dimish it but it still puts a load on the ENTIRE electrical system becuae that cap has to recharge every time. Having a dedicated Alternator also helps to fight alternator whine.
