What's up peeps... I've read a bunch of forums before, but never have I posted an issue of mine. I believe someone here Would understand what I'm talking about. I will be very detailed in what's going on with my Tahoe.

I've been to a few mechanics, I've asked a couple of people on what might be causing the issue but no one seems to know what I'm talking about.
I do not have a factory radio on my truck. I've also replaced the front-passenger window regulator. Both front speakers have been replaced(I'm not sure what brand speakers) and the amp inside the glove box has been disconnected; which was supposedly the problem.
When I hit the passenger side window switch all lighting dims down, not dramatically, but you can tell they dim. At times when the there's is low voltage(I'm assuming that's what happening) the radio, climate control, and passenger window will cut off completely for a few seconds, then come back on. Slowly it getting worse. I would have low power on multiple windows. The Lightning on the dash would be really dim.
I do know that the speakers do not sound the way there supposed to. On the driver door speaker all you hear is the tweeter speaker and at that, it sound as if it's a a low volume when I have the stereo full blast. It does get loud if I put max volume, but they used to sound louder.

My guess is, there is some kind of shortage at one of the units(radio, window switch, climate control, ect.) but I haven't took it to an actual car electrician. I want to understand what's going on first before I let someone do more work on it than what it really is.

Thanks in advance for your time and concern. I'd be grateful for any advice given to me.
Name is Joe by the way...

I am not convinced the amp is the cause of your issues if it were mine I would take the truck to an alternator starter shop and have them check the alternator it sound more like the internal voltage regulator is not acting right or worse case the ECM is acting up I know dodge is a different fish altogether but my work truck had the same issue you described I ended up replacing both the alternator and ECM and it straightened everything out and even runs better now. hope this helps you.
