Correct.

Most cars have stock alternators that are designed to power their factory
electrical systems and not a whole lot more. The more current your stereo
draws, the more of a load it puts on that alternator. If it can't provide
enough current, then all the capacitors and deep-cycle batteries in the world
won't help.
