either your battery and alternator arent upto it or you have a bad earth somewhere, what exactly are you running in regards to amps etc...

[Dis00]

running 2 amps that are 90watts per channel powering one sub and a set of comps

should be ok really might be a sign your battery isnt liking it or maybe on its way out, i doubt its that though do any of lights flicker ie dash or rear lights?? if they dont then it could be just old wiring on the lights.

the interior light dims quite a bit havent checked the rear lights but will

seems like your amps etc is drawing to much current only thing i can think off is to test you battery and alternator with a multimeter if you own one.

a good battery would be 12.8Volts + when not in use
a good alternator would give out 13.5+ volts ideally 14volts.(test this with the multimeter across the battery with engine running)

if you play your setup with your interior light on, does that flicker too? if so you i'd recommend a cpacitator... sorry its the comp i work for but i know they do them.. just a suggestion! 

im not a car genius
