i start the car and its idling at about 800-1000rpm which is normal

it means something is wrong. i could see it happening with the stereo on, along with the lights and air conditioning, but something is wrong. you might want to go get your alternator tested, along with your battery, and the big 3 is a must for that. lol

i checked all the conections

big 3 was done a while back

this just started happening after i changed my speaker wire, but this still happens even when the radio is off

i can turn the music all the way up and the rpm doesnt drop....only when i roll the windows or move my automatic seat

could it be something wrong with the alternator*
