electrical problem, please help
i have an 83 cfi camaro. we had a big storm a couple weeks ago and now if i have my subs hooked up the radio will keep turning off so i unplugged them and i can listen to the radio a little louder but as soon as i get to where i can hear it well it cuts on and off. then once i turn the headlights on the radio will not stay on, it will just keep cutting on and off.

Sub-stantial Information
Using a voltmeter or test light (the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) monitor the DC input to the radio.
That will let you know if it’s the radio itself cutting out, or if it’s the power to it.
Also it sounds as if the radio is powered VIA the headlight circuit breaker.
If that’s the case remove that connection and wire the radio to it’s own fuse.
