This is a reason people with bigass car stereos add capacitors. Large sudden power draws like amps driving large bass hits can cause equally large drops in system voltage. The capacitor act to "stiffen" the system by providing reserve of current that can be drawn and replenished much more rapidly than a battery can. This keeps the voltage more consistent.
