Hi there,

I have recently put some new speakers in my squareback, and I think that, and my amp might be drawing too much power. A couple of times it has stalled at night and the lights can get pretty dim while idling. Also there's something in the fusebox that sometimes gets pretty hot.
I don't want to hurt the volksy but I'd love to keep the stereo also I'd like to get halogen lights soon and that would probably just make it worse.

Any suggestions?
Pete

Place in the states. Sometimes a lot cheaper than buying here in oz, sometimes not depends on the item

EDIT: Just noticed i called them the DBB in my first post. My bad.
