Re: I need help

do you have external amps ... like for the bass. If you do, you probably need a bigger alternator.

Re: I need help

make sure you have sufficient power, and sounds like you need a new alternator.

Re: I need help

try adding 0 guage wire to the big 3. if your problem continues, maybe you have a bad alternator? My civic has a 70ampere alt, and though that's weak, my lights are fine. i'm gonna doubt that you have a several thousand dollar competition system that would use that much power, so something's F'ed with your electricals.
