Shouldn't cause a problem cap just stores power it only supplies what is needed. Audio system still runs off battery cap just acts as a buffer to ensure battery doesn't draw over its rating. A fully charged battery would run at 14.7 volts not 12 so if your cap is at 14.7 volts I would say it is working perfectly and you have very good connections and no corrosion.
