Help! Problem!

Okay, here's what's going on. My car starts and runs fine, but when night comes around every time I touch the brake my headlights and gagues dim. Then if I try to listen to music, it just gets way worse. I'm only running a Kenwood eXcelon X501F so I'm not putting out HUGE amplifier power or anything crazy. Could it be because I'm runnign the front channel of the amp at 4 ohm and the rear at 8 ohm mono for my sub? That's just for music stuff I guess...but hwo about the unusual dimming of the lights when the stereo is off and I touch my brakes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

you've probly got a short somewhere....make sure its not in the stereo, but i doubt it...you probly end up having to go to a shop and have them track it down for like 40 - 50 bucks an hour....had to do it on my truck back in the day when it started stuttering and lights going nuts and everything....good luck man
