Headlights pulse/dim with bass???

[SocialStealth]

I have an eclipse EA4100 amp.

4 channels @ 75 rms

JL audios in the deck rated @ 80 rms

Infinities in front doors rated @ 60 rms

When I turn the volume up, and i listen to a bassy song, my car's headlights fade with the base //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Anyone know what the problem could be? (along with a solution?)

Voltage drop. You aren't running that much power, so make sure your connections are solid. Your battery could also be going.

you dont have any subs or sub amps right? have you checked the battery and alternator? most part stores do it free on the car. 300 watts doesn't seem like enough to cause an issue but I could be wrong. just never seen it.

maybe he drives one of those tiny smart cars, cause i dont think any real cars are gonna dim with 300 watts. check your battery, alternator and all wires. something is either going bad or is already bad

What exactly do I have to check?

"Check alternator...Check, its there..."

My dad has this tool that checks voltage and watts and stuff, should I use that somehow?

Just bring it in, tell them the problem, and they'll take it from there.
