My wires are run correctly on opposite sides of the car. I can get my RPMs to drop a little by moving the steering wheel(I think thats natural). I can get my lights to dim by starting the car. With my old sony when the bass hit my lighs used to blink. Now its just when I change songs, channels, or sources. You guys seem to think it's my sub amp?

Thats a step in the right direction. actually you might have good lead there. i've heard of people having problems such as alternator whine simply because the alternator was on the way out, perhaps he sound have it checked. > > Can you duplicate the lights blinking and RPM drop by using any other > accessory in the car?

Its unlikely they could induce noise onto each other. acutally if at 14 volts and on a high powered system like mine, there can be as much as 60 amps going through, 60*14=840 watts which is more than enough to induce noise on just about anything Alex +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ List archives ==> http://www.escribe.com/automotive/sml Have a question?
