you mean like the screen dims? flat bettery/ drainign it, altenator working correctly?

[General Baxter]

did you have the engine running?
are you running the std nova speakers?

[CoolTiger]

if its standard speakers your running im guessing youve blown it, as for it dimming amp sucking too much power??

[twistysnovagte]

yes this is with the engine running etc.i can acept that the sub/amp is draining power therefore flickering the headunit to the bass.but this never happened when i just had the sub onits own(without the box)the speakers are standard items(wil be looking for replacements soon)but im fearing the worst i wouldnt want a FIRE and lose everything .i do have a large breaker / fuse on the live wire to the amp.but could it still catch fire.im gonna buy me a small extinguisher just in case.;)

Check wires to the dud speaker, they might have broken or burned and caused a short.
