How can you store a different amount of charge in a capacitor?

Power = V*I Power = (V) * (C*dV/dt) To store more / less power / charge, charge the capacitor with a greater / smaller voltage (make sure the cap is rated for at least as much as the voltage you are charging from, though).


Can a capacitor hook directly to a car stereo without using an amp?

No. The capacitor is there to store the power so that the power isnt drained from the car at once. It helps reduce the strain placed on the vehicles electric system.
