OK, 98 CC 5.2 L bout 69000 miles
runnning 1- Kicker ZR 240
1- Rockford HE2 15"
with 8 gauge runnin at 2 ohms 300 watts
now always with this amp the lights dim with loud spikes in the bass, even in my old car. well 2night, the lights almost totally went out could feel the engine lose power like the spark plugs were not sparking i assume... so i said f*ck it, and shut everything down, well about 2miles after i did that. the truck died, completly shut off going 40mph on a off ramp. got out and disconnect the inline fuse, and started her back up, got back to my house let'her run for a lil while no problems the rest of the night.... we'll see in the morning though... any thoughts as to what this might be from, i am clueless... this is the second car iv had this set up in... no problems in the old car xcpet the alternator went in it, but i would expect taht at 198000 miles, but to have the truck die is a lil weird, and help would be great

You may want to look at the altenater and the battery to make sure they are in good condition. As for the spikes you might want to get a cap, that will store the energy for the subs when they need that instant punch of current. It will also take some of the load off the battery and the altenater when you have it cranked.
If none of that you may also want to check to make sure your power wire is not pinched or touching bare metal any where I had that problem which cause what is happening to you in one set up of mine.
Hope this helps.
