[QUOTE="CarAudioNewb!, post: 7693735, member: 640585"] I want to say first off I appreciate everyone's responses and want to help, I was just driving home now in the dark with headlights on , I had the defroster going front and rear and heat on floor on for whole way home and most of way it was on 3 (highest it goes is 4) along with a radar detector plugged in cigarette lighter with both amps, radio etc running and bass knob on the dash was 3/4 way up , maybe alil more and volume on radio around 20 ish, i had no headlight dimming and bass was hitting hard where I could feel it in the back of my drivers seat and the mirrors were moving a bit, the volt meter I had installed I watched it never went under 14 once, this is where im lost tho because once i turn bass knob all way up tho and volume up to over 25 where whole car is shaking from the bass then the lights will flicker almost but they dont get dimmer exactly just flicker with the bass on heavy hits, im trying to fig out if im pretty ok is all basically if it only happens in this situation while having all those things running at once also, and headlgihts , fog lights on to, my big conceren is i just want to make sure im not going to kill the car basically with what I have or if im stressing myself out over a common issue, also if anyone has advice on what I can do to set gains on the amp perfect with the DMM id appreciate it...I apologize for the long reply, just trying to give you guys as much info as i can about it [/QUOTE]
