i have a question i have a 1980 ford f100 custom with a 4.9L inline 6 i recently put in a pioneer 200w sterio system with aprox. 8 speakers they all work but when i turn on the the sterio and then i turn on my parking lights via the headlight swich the radio goes off and everything is off exept the parking lights and the courtesy light in the cab i replaced all the fuses so i could get all the guages to work but they dont work atall for some reason and i checked all the wires and the chassis grounds and cleaned them and i also tryed disconnecting the system and then tryed disconnecting all the speakers exept for 2 to see if that made a diffrence but still the problem resulted in power failure can anyone help me find the sorce of the problem?
thanks

Sounds like you have tapped into your headlight power with the power wire for you stereo. Try an alternative power source. Use the memory wire on your brake lights. Brake lights have continuous power. Wire your stereo to your ACC, on your ignition. Also, buy an amp. 8 speakers from 1 head unit is a lot of load.
