that's a very bad thing, low voltage is very hard on electronics.
If yuo are having dimming with no amp your alternator is dying

Will that one work? Its only 40 dollars..
Wow, that is cheap!! I never turn my music up that loud so I haven't had any problems but I've still looked into getting one just so the power's there if I ever need it.

I like thezeb.com personally for electroics. They have a GREAT staff!
