Car Randomly Shutting off/ HIGH Winding Sound
UPDATE: There is this high winding sound for a long period like 5 seconds that sometimes my car wont start. I turn the key back then try to start it again and it starts fine although today the high winding sound went of for like 8 secs until I actually took the key out. Then it started
My car 2 times in the past 2 days randomly shuts off. The lights get very dim.
When I first got the car it did this I replaced the battery because pep boys told me it was to small of a battery. Okay life went out and it was good. Well I had to replace that battery after 1 year (I was like really 1 year ****ing with me) and got a new one from Auto Zone.
I got it like 2 months ago and nothing wrong (although I noticed the battery being small like the first one but they said its what their system recommended) also I did finally start putting my audio system together and been using that this past week. (These turn offs only start happening after the audio system)
It only occurs when my foot off the gas iv noticed and im coming to a stop or I am stopped.
Is this a possible battery issue? Or something else? I cannot find the recommend battery requirements. And couldn't imagine the cause of this.
I have fresh battery terminals too that I recently bought in the past few months so I cant imagine its the connection to it
It has 750 Cold Cranking Amps
Cranking amps at 32F is 935
Reserve Capacity is 130
Thanks,

When you say audio system, what are we talking about? how many amps how powerful, do you have cap hooked up etc.......
It sounds like a charging issue or possibly grounding as well

My bad I have only started the installation of my audio system. Cause I haven't had it for 6 months. Just speakers in right now.
The battery starts up the car fine so I cant see it being a charging issues? As for grounding I worked with my local audio shop to install all the components so they should be grounded correctly.

I'm not talking about audio grounding but the engine grounds...........they are terrible and from experience they can get corroded and cause similar issues out of the blue.

Im not the best mechanic ha where are these located so I can take a look at them?
Also so theres no way this is battery related? Cause iv only noticed this issues when I got the car with this small battery, and now that I have this battery.
