The car........Your suppose to know all this right?

Lol, not when you're being all ambiguous about it. Anyways, I don't see how a car tuneup would help... The things you replace shouldn't have anything to do with the electrical. I'm assuming I'm correct as I've already done a tune-up :P.

This isn't exactly an important thing atm on my list so I'm probably just gonna let it sit. I'll deal with it later >_<

Have you done a tune up with spark plugs and wires? The radio runs off the battery but the battery runs off the motor and the charging system. It is all electrical and feeds back to your system.

Yes, I have replaced my spark plugs and the wire, but I don't see how that would impact my system. I understand that the battery powers my electronics while my engine is off, and the alternator helps out when the engine is on, but this problem is solely related to my turn signals and head lights.

It seems the power fluctuation when I turn these on is what causes me to lose sound for a second, but I can roll my windows up and down or turn my cabin light on and it doesn't interfere with the amp whatsoever.

You'll have to explain in more detail how my spark plugs and wires can cause this.

That and I still haven't figured out why my amp distorts when I brake hard.

question, are you using a line level converter to get an RCA signal or does your amp have high level inputs? If so where are your taping into the speaker signals at? In the rear or up by the deck? If up by the deck are the wires running on the opposite side of the power wire, if in the rear is the ground for the high level the same as the amplifier?
Also, how are you connecting the high level or LLC to the existing speakers wires? I bet this is your problem here.

I am using a line level converter to get an RCA signal which then goes to my amp. I'm getting the speaker signal from the back of the deck. I'm not sure what you mean by opposite side of the power wire?

I connected the LLC by stripping some of the original speaker wires, wrapping the LLC wires around the original ones, soldered, and threw some masking tape over it. I know it's not the correct way to do so, but I never encountered this sort of problem doing it that way...til now :P
