Howdy all.... it's been awhile since I've posted anything... the fasty's running great on her new rebuild... FI and all.... decided to upgrade the sound system... one okay deck, four speakers, and an amp.... now here's the prob: sound's great... until I come to an idle, with lights on... the minute I hit the brakes (using power for the lights) the (sound) system starts to die, static like. without headlights, or if I don't use the brakes when using the headlights (not a suggestion) then it's ok. If I even lay my foot on the gas a bit, the deck lights get brighter and everything is great if I do use the brakes. ... bottom line... my car doesn't produce enough power to run headlights, tailights and then an added amp. any suggestions????, better battery? (not likely the problem) .. better alternator (even less likely) bump up the idle (... no no bad boy)... my car was just not made to do this (... please say no) or don't use the brakes (.... laaa laa laaa.... crunch) ??? what say ye.... any of you had this problem, (and I really hope this hasn't been discussed this week..)
