Default Light Flicker

I recently put 2 10" subs and amp in my mustang. I noticed that whenever the bass hits the headlights flicker just a little bit. It's nothing really noticeable I was just wondering if it was normal or if there's something I should do to take care of it?

Did you upgrade your power system? Sounds like your sound system is sucking too many amps.

yes that will be normal...its cause the subs are taking from the battery and the alternator...to get rid of it get some 1/4 or 1/2 farad capacitors...theyre gonna be a lil expensive
