Console lights dim when sub hits hard...

I just wired a single Diamond Audio 12 M6 sub running bridged at 600W off of my JBL 600.1 amp. Now, it doesn't do this all the time, but when the sub hits a really low, or loud note, the lights on the console will dim for an instant. Is that something that I need to look into fixing somehow, will it hurt anything, or can I just leave it alone and be safe?

Thanks,
Lloyd

I had the same problem but running 2 12" M6's.... I just got a Stinger Farad Cap and the problem went away.. I also have the yellow top optima too.
