Subs + Amps = Weight Distribution Offset

I'm planning on starting my sound system project any day now. It will be two custom enclosures behind the taillights for JL 12W3s'; and a amp rack in the back of the trunk against the seats holding a 700 2Ch, and a 400w 4Ch, and a 1Farod Cap.......Hmmmm, what would be the thoughts on how this equipment will affect the handling performance of the machine? Seemingly- with this gear, I still want to be able to take turns as stable as we are taking them now. Any ideas.....the measurements are set, work will be started soon.
Maybe if anything, it would even the 51/49 ratio out a little bit being that the front is very slightly heavier when stock.....

Why a Capacitator? Simply so there is no major drain on the
battery or stock 100amp alternator.

I have noticed an easier rear wheel squeal when turning from a stop and flooring it. Only at the end of the turn however. Immediately after touching the wheel and the gass it grips better. I think the + and the - off set one another.
