Hey,
i just removed my amplifier that i used with my speakers (4).. So i hook them to my Headunit ( Sony XPLOD CDX GT220 ).. My subwoofer are 2 RF P1 powered by a Pioneer GM-D7400M ( Fuse 50A ) mono amplifier.. I upgraded the big 3 in my car ( Chevy cavalier ).. So here the deal ... Now my light are dimming badly than before and my subwoofer cut at high volume ( Voltage drop ).. Before when i doesnt have my speakers pluged on my HU all was working fine.. What is happening?

Well if the only thing you changed was wiring up the speakers to the headunit...Dis-connect whatever you wired up to the HU and leave the subs connected...Then turn up the volume and see if you experience the same problem...!

What is the voltage dropping to...? What did you do with the wires connected to the amp you dis-connected...? Is the power wire fused...?

your voltage should not even drop below 12 volts with an amp that small
