I only have a 400watt 10" sub with a 300watt amp powering it. My 6 1/2s are running off my
CD deck. Is it normal for the lights on my deck to dim to the beat?

yes this is normal but it can be fixed if it bothers u. are ur headlights dimming? if they are u might want to upgrade ur alternator and or battery or at least get a capacitor

I upgraded the alternator, battery, and the ground wires from the battery. When the alternator is working, I have no dimmage. At idle I can still make it dim if I want.and regardless, though, if I hit the brakes, I always get dimmage. Its very odd.
