It doesnt take any strain off anything. Infact i am fairly certain it actually increases the strain on your electrical system since your adding a component.
But yes a cap will minimize dimming. Because the amp will take power from the cap instead of the rest of your electrical system.

sorry, just to correct that, a cap does NOT help with dimming.
a cap helps the amp from clipping due to not getting power fast enough. But the cap itself also recharges fast enough to make the lights dim. Therefore, only a high output alternator that can replace that power pulled will reduce dimming. It doesn't increase any strain on the electrical system though, per se. at least not while its not really needed.
