my car barely starts, it makes weird noises and takes about 5 seconds to get the engine going. my headlights and the symbols by the speedometer also dim when i turn up my subs. this just started to happen 2 weeks after i got an amp and 1 sub.. its a 300 watt rockford amp and 12' kicker cvr. is it time for a new battery, or it something else?

Don't buy a cheap shitty battery either...

you must hook up that remote wire correctly. if not, then disconnect your amp when you turn the car off so you dont waste the power
