Gauge problems

[camaro96outlawz]

My speedadamer is hoping around when bass is on low but since then my gauge move alot like oil and battery do you think the bass messed my gauges up ?

No but your stereo is drawing too much power from the rest of things -- leaving not enough to power the gauges. They're the first to go / show when things are draining heavily.

This belongs in the Stereo forum, but I can tell you that it's either a battery or alternator problem, or a 3rd fix would be to lose the stereo.
