    The interior lights dont dim when it hits only the exterior(fogs, headlights, etc). I have a bass knob inside the car so it can be adjusted up and down independently. I have a pioneer cd player and i dont max the settings on it to reduce the dimming effect. I have looked into capacitors but alot of my friends tell me they dont achieve the desired results all the time. I was reading somewhere about the "big 3" when installing systems, something about the wiring from the batt. to the starter or something. As to the question about the size of the wires it says 4 gauge on the battery and the ground.

    This means your amp is set wrong for your electrical system. Tune better.

    Sell it to some other schmuck.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
