Lights dim, deck cuts out
(first time posting bare with me)
OK, so i bought a 98 cavalier off my cousin, everthings fine with the car except for the sound system... now being a university student i didnt have a lot of money so i replaced the back two speakers with 2 pioneer 6x9s, now when i turn up the volume, and the bass hits the lights on the deck dim, and if i turn it up high enought the deck will cut out completely and shut off and then restart only to have the same thing happen again... Any suggestions... i know it will probably come up for a capacitor to be added, but i have no amp... i just removed the old speakers and wired up the new ones in their place... Thx for any help... |

Re: Lights dim, deck cuts out
Only thing i can thing of is there might be some wires crossed somewhere. and the reason why its shutting off is there is prolly a safety cut off built in.

Re: Lights dim, deck cuts out
you really shouldn't NEED a cap without a sub/amp setup....
check your speaker wiring... are the front speakers stock?

Re: Lights dim, deck cuts out
sounds to me that you are driving the deck too hard. Make sure you used the correct speakers 4 or 8 ohm. OR the power system is not strong enough to supply the power your deck needs to run. It is cutting out due to heat.
