Ok, this is going to be really hard to describe, but here goes.
When I use more than average amount of power (such as putting up the windows, high beam lights, A/C, or fans), the car shakes a lots. when the power usage is over, it goes back to normal.
so when i put up my windows, car shakes pretty bad and sounds like it might stall. When i turn the A/C on the same thing happens. High beams make my interior lights go crazy, they like surge really bright then go back to normal after a second of the highbeams being turned on.
Any ideas? ask questions and ill describe it better in areas i forgot... This has been happening for a while, i just havent really had time to look into it. But even after looking into it, i can not come up with any ideas lol.

Grounds will help, voltage regulators will really help. Get one of the Sun Auto, or Apex ground units. They store energy so when you hit the window switch, the battery and electrical system dont get hit with the draw for voltage, the regulator does. I know all the tibs I've had have horrible grounding, and after the install they always function much quicker and smoother. Let me know if you want something to fix the prob, otherwise I'd say just do the home made speaker wire grounds, they'll help a little bit.
