the bass will be the same as the polwer cap does not produce more bass it acts as a power storage unit so basically keeps a decent amout of power goin 2 the amp

Caps are used to supply the large bursts of current required to produce powerfull bass notes. If you have a cap already, using a larger one is unlikely to make any difference unless you have a very powerfull system.

i suggest you dont use a cap at all, i would be inclined to put a second battery in the car with a split charge relay to cope with the extra load, a power cap will only supply enough power for a short busrts b4 it charges again , i really do think there a waste of money the onlt good thing is the voltmetre in then and there also usful for a door stop!
as for using a larger one you need the battery to be good enough to keep supplying this as well....i really do think there for looks and show use only

They discharge and re-charge quicker than batterys, that is the benefit.... As for using one larger than you need. No point unless your alternator and battery can handle it, otherwise it's just another load on the already strained system.
