[QUOTE="Mexar, post: 5130707, member: 599759"] If it was cold out, the battery has a harder time to push the juice around... If you were parked differently (Close to a wall or something for the lights to shine on) you might've noticed it more, or really dark to notice the dash lights. If the system has been installed for a while, there might've been a crimp somewhere on the power wire (More likely than ground) and what will happen is that becomes a point of higher resistance than the rest of the wire, and if you ran the stereo for a long while the night before, it would've heated up in that spot. What happens then, is some of the strands fuse together, and you lose a LOT of surface area, increasing the resistance by a lot again (That whole long winded thing breaks down to, check the wires) [/QUOTE]
