    Hi, I just got a 120W RMS MTX '8 Subwoofer installed in my car today. After testing I noticed that my Idle RPM has dropped and the car gets shaky when the gear is set to Drive and when stopping on a red light. Also at night the headlights and interior lights dim when the woofer hits. Is there...
