Unhappy Wiring problem with sterio HELP!!!!!

HELP!! i just installed a sony deck, pioneer 6x8's and kenwood 6 1/2s in my 86 bronco and now its not getting enough power. when i turn the deck up and the bass hits the deck blinks and if i turn it up louder it shuts off completly then turns back on. i think it might be a short, because its also blowing the dash illumination fuses. i had to do sum wiring with crimps and all you who own an 86 probably know the wiring is goofy. so if any one has a wiring chart they could send me for an 86' Eddie Bower Edition that would be great. Umm if any one has had this probably please help i have no idea where the short is, i really wish i had a wiring chart for all this so yeah if any one has one......did i mention its blowing my inllumination fuses?

Thanx

Wiring problem with sterio HELP!!!!!

You've connected either the head unit power or the amp power to the dash illumination wire (LB/R). See what happens when you dim your dash lights all the way. Does the thing even work with the lights turned off? ...and the doors closed?

Get a Haynes manual ($12 @ most parts stores) and check out the wiring diagrams.
