Default Negative effects of low-voltage to the car?

I was thinking about this today... I know I need a capacitor for my new system. I've got a 2000 Integra Type R, if anyone didn't know.

I've got a Kicker 550.3 running a set of JL XR 6.5" Components & a JL 10W6v2 with 4 ga. wire. The birth certificate of the amp says it's running 750 watts, so I'm going to be buying a 1 farad cap. Problem is, I'm broke right now. Other than my lights dimming, does this affect the car negatively?

I was thinking gas milage might drop, performance would drop due to less spark, etc? If so, are there any serious consequences? I'd like to hold off for a while on the cap. purchase if possible.

Just don't want to kill the aaRRRRR or anything. :a:
