to give the amp time to recognize the lines are shut

Sure?
I'm not a technician by any standard, but I thought that the thumps were caused when power to the empeg is removed with the amp still alive. If I remember correctly, this was resolved in the Mk2 by building delays into the procedure such that, on ignition off, the empeg is kept alive a few seconds while it tells the amp to turn itself off gracefully. In this manner, there is no amplification when the empeg goes dead.

Thus wiring some caps into the amp feeds wouldn't help.
Or is it the other way around . . ? ? ?

Anyhow, with the Mk2 there shouldn't be any thumps unless one yanks the empeg out of its sled while playing. If there is noise when ignition is killed, your car would need the specila spike suppressor that empeg makes available for those in need of it.
