I'm gonna go ahead and buy a cap. my headlights dim when i crank it anyway so maybe that'll solve my problem.

Havent gotten around to troubleshooting yet, been workin alot and its nighttime. I'll try holding it in place and see what happend when i get the chance

my amp is a Audiobahn A8000T 800w

My car's a 2001, maybe if i got a new optima red top battery that'd solve things.

No, its just plain skipping. Sometimes it does real bad, but then sometimes it doesnt skip at all. I'm thinking that its the voltage like buickfreak was saying. How would i fix that? I used a wire harness so its hooked to the stock wires, could that cause low voltage?

I have a 01 Focus ZX3

And thanx for all the advice!

Like What?

my stock cd player was like a DIN and a half so i had to get a kit. So it is kinda free floating in there. Ill try placing some rubber or something inside.

I installed my hu yesterday (jvc kd-ar7000) and everything is running fine n dandy. but when i turn it up and the 2 12s get goin, the cd starts to skip. Is there something i can do to stop this or does the hu not have good skip protection?
