I agree with marvin.



Try idling the car, and see if it shuts the deck off. Then try it again at a higher engine rev. If it only does it at a low rev, then you need a bigger alternator, or a cap to handle the surge of turning the lights on.



Make sure you try this while your stereo is loud (or whatever volume it usually happens at).
your power source doesn't have enough amperage. U might have it hooked 2 the dash lights. U should run it 2 the fuse panel where u have 12 volts when the key is on %26amp; not a variable source..U might even have a charging problem,,or a intermitten 12 volts or ground..Why does my car stereo shut off when i turn headlights to bright?
I reckon you have picked up a supply from the parking / side lights which is disconnected during "bright " operation. If you cannot find a feed from the auxiliary side of the ignition you will need to run a fused supply from the battery.

Check the fuse box.
