Default Re: Subwoofers causing door and dash speaker distortion(?)

I actually have 2 power wires coming off my battery. One is 8awg for my P-200 and I have a 4awg for my P-500. The same goes for the grounds. I have a 40 amp fuse on the 200 and a 100 on the 500. As far as my crossovers, I'm using the ones that are on the amps.

The thing that confusing me is if I have a voltage drop when my subs are getting pushed fairly hard, wouldn't my lights dim? If it were a voltage drop, wouldn't hooking up a 1 farad cap fix that problem?

My initial thoughts is that maybe my speakers aren't sealed very well, causing my speakers to "flutter" whenever the bass notes hit. I'll do whatever is necessary to get rid of this problem, but I'm not about to mess with the "Hypergrounding" thing you just described. I'll pay someone to do that.

Darkpt06--I have them grounded next to the latches that the rear seats hook on to.

Sorry if that didn't make too much sense. My sleep medication is kicking in.
