Hi There, firstly this isnt my car it is my friends Peugeot 306 but im totally stumped.
Ok long and short of it is... When he is playing his stereo the head lights are fluctuating. it is not so bad when the car is off, it is terrible when the car is running
Kit:
JL 500/1 (is that right?) powering JL W6
Genesis 4 channel - Powering 2 pairs of JL components.
Alpine HU
Stinger SP440 (or close)
0 gauge to boot then 4 guauge to amps
Amps earthed to chassis
Uprated Alternator 150A
I had him come round the other day to do a few little tests, firstly i d/c the JL amp and ran the genesis amp alone and there was no dimming. then i d/c the genensis and reconnected the JL and the dimming started.
so it is the JL amp causing the problem
with the Genesis amp d/c i did the following all of which solved nothing!
can someone please give me some advice? my friend is currently just throwing money at it and i tell him he needs to fix the problem not just throw sticking plasters at it!
thanks
Jonni

with the Genesis amp d/c i did the following all of which solved nothing!
- 4 guage direct from battery positive to amp (no fuse)
- 4 guage direct from battery negative to amp earth
- connect powerstart to battery (reduced dimming but didnt eliminate)
- connect identical sub to amp
can someone please give me some advice? my friend is currently just throwing money at it and i tell him he needs to fix the problem not just throw sticking plasters at it!
