[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8658841, member: 665412"] It's dimming because you're actually seeing the same voltage at the front of the car and the back of the car whereas before the front was ~14v and the back was ~12v and now they're both 12-13v or whatever it is. You're likely clipping the amp a little bit too. Buy a cheap voltmeter for $10-20 and wire it into the amp input terminals and then stick it on the dash somewhere. See what your voltage actually drops to when the lights dim. [/QUOTE]
