I just bought an eagle talon last week and when i put a system in weird things started happening. First once in a while i cant control the dimming of my dash lights. then the engine starts ideling at like 500rpm and stalls at red light on occasion but only when my headlight are on. Could someone please help me im afraid to listen to music at night.
 
the whole 9 i have an alpine headunit a 1000 watt mobile authority amp and 2 12" infinity subs.
 
check your power wires for a short. Im running 2 large amps 1 small, 1 farad cap, double din clarion h/u, and i have no problem w/ the idle or dimmer control. your dimmer controll issue is most likely the dimmer wire option on your stereo not being hooked up right. Im running the stock alternator, and a battery im sure needs replaced. Pounding hard on the highway voltage goes from 11.7 to 12.5 according to my turbo timer, but the low voltage has never caused the idle to go way down. Another possibilty is if while you were under the hood running wires, you could have knocked a vaccum line loose. Just check for anything out of the ordinary i guess. let me know what you find is wrong. Good luck
 
i looked for loose hoses or anything that was out of the ordinary but couldnt find anything so i just turned my biss up now it idles in park at like 1500-2000 but as soon as i put it in gear it drops to approx. 750 lower when lights and everthing is on but it hasnt stalled yet. and the dimming isnt really bothering me anymore if i turn it all the way to bright i dont notice anyways. thanks.
