mate its your sub taking all the juice out of your battery. the battery cant take it so all your electrics flash slightly. my lights do it too and the dials, i jus dont have it on full all the time. that does the trick.

Next step is to do the big 3 (do a search on here) tbh i can really see a 75.2 pulling that much current to make your lights dim/flicker (setup a 75.4 for a mate with no problems on 8 awg cable)

i would go and get your battery and alternator tested most car shops will bo it foc anyway

i have a GTO2060 (similar power demands to a 75.2) and i dont have any tral problems with lights. they do dim a little on the larger amplitude LF notes, but that about it.
