What kind of "stereo" do you have? More specifically, how many watts output total are you using?

Yeah test the charging system you may have a week alt. I noticed my lights would do the same thing after my LS swap running the P75 ECU. Once I had the car tuned on the P28 ECU the issue went away. Dont think that since you have replaced the alternator that it is not bad. On my 89 Accord LXi I went threw 3 Checker now O Reilly alternators before finally getting one from BAP.
