unsteady idle after system install....

hey wats up guyz, i currently bought my friendz subs and amp(2 12" Kicker Comp VR's w/ a Kenwood Excelon M401 amp) sounds great and everything w/ the Bose speakers inside...believe it or not, w/ the bass drained out of the bose speakers, the highs r pretty dam good. Anyway i had it installed professionally, however ive noticed since i have had the sys. hooked up, my idle is unsteady at times...and its not only when i have the sys. on, it's all the time...it's a lil rough and the needle jumps occasionally, not a drastic jump tho, just here and there..wat does this mean? do i need a power cap. of some kind, or is it something else??

had the same problem...the extra electrical equipment was causing a load on the car's electrical system. i just got a cap to help give it more juice when the bass really hits... and the idle got back to normal
