capacitor to handle elec (reduce load on alternator?)

i see alot about electrical being the enemy so i thought would adding a capacitor, like the ones they use for large car audio systems, (i.e. those farad capacitors in the kits) right by the batterry help. my idea was that you run the alternator wire to the battery and thats the sole wire to the positive then you run a wire to the capacitor from the battery. then on the out side of the capacitor you have the rest of the wires for the cars positive electrical system.
would this help to regulate the power needed since alot of power is not always drawing just need quick power.(intermitant wipers, blinkers) would this reduce the load on the battery(and increase battery life) and in turn reduce the load on the alternator

just a thought i may be totally off on this one
