Default Never heard of SRS light and overload problem

okay so ive talked to some people and searched the internet about srs light problems and components overload, i got a new alternator about a year ago and a battery so they should be working fine but heres the issue that nobody has been able to help with yet... so while im driving day or night playing my 2 12inch infinitys with 980 watt amp (thought id better list these sence its electrical) i also had a new cd deck installed its a newer kenwood model with usb for your ipod optional bluetooth and it was professionaly installed and i had them tweak with my system to make it sound good, but it seemed like not long after they installed it my srs light started coming on, so when im running these things and come to a stop or maybe even sitting in a parking lot with volume turned down, only able to hear idle and then out of random my srs light comes on and everything is like electricaly supercharged then i leave the parking lot accelerating and lights will get brighter,widnows roll up faster, wipers go faster, etc... and if i bumping my system and at a level speed the srs light will dim go bright dim go bright and then goes of, and then sometimes after that i within a few seconds i come to a stop and accel again it goes on, sometimes it will stay on no matter what speed until i push on my brakes and come to a stop, but ive checked all my connectors under the hood and im lost as to what it could be but it has to do with something with accelerating and breaking but sometimes as i pull it into garage after its come on and off on my daily driving it wil stay and even without moving and sitting in idle.
The only other thing i have not checked yet but im waiting to run out of gas is my fuel pump that leads to a fuse with my srs unit when in sitting position is noticed some sputtering noise like its lacking gas or getting air in the fuel line. Its a long post i know but ive explained it to people and they get lost and maybe you are to but any advice would help, sometime i wana catch it while its on and go to checker or autozone and have them bring up the code but i still dont think it can give me the right answer. thanks for reading

It might be the deck you installed... I've heard that civics can be fussy when you start messing with the electrical. my buddy has a 97 civic, and i think he had the same problem. try un hooking the deck, and drive it around for a while. see if thats the problem. good luck

yeah thats what i was thinkin it was but i first disconnected my amp and drove around but it still came on, if i disconnect the deck and thats the problem what might be causing the problem because i had a deck in it befor, it was a panasonic and worked fine without problems except for ground loop noise but it stoped being able to read cds and i even used a lens cleaner didnt help so i just bought a new one and now the problems have started. but i will defanitly try disconnecting the deck and if its the problem ill go complain to the place who installed it because they guarantee there work..... thanks for the reply ill let you know what i find out.

so i tried disconnecting my deck and it still came on, i noticed a lot of it has to do with accelerating and pushing on the brake, accelerating makes it come on and braking makes it go off. and when its on and i run my ac or something that uses power it help it go off but its pretty random when it comes on and off, my next step is to get it to come on and go to autozone and find out what it is. it better not be my damn alternator its brand new!!
