blink headlights??

does anybody else have problem with headlights an interior lights blinkin to the bass....cuz i've got a 800watt pioneer amp(sucks) running 2 rockford 12's, an when up the volume when i'm driving at night, it starts to blink....is this bad, because it dont seem right to me. i've got 4 ohm cable running from the battery, could it be my battery not powerful enough, cuz it will kill the battery fast if i'm listening to the radio with the car off. now i dont know that much about electronics, but i think this just shouldnt be happening
any thoughts fellas....i know yous are the ones to be askin this!
thank

By 4 ohm cable, I am guessing you mean 4 gauge which should be enough for a 800 watt amp. A capacitor will maybe help the problem a little bit, but the best fix would be to upgrade your alternator. BTW watch out with that Pioneer Amp, I have read stories about them starting cars on fire..
