OK, first of all forget about all those power numbers, they are peak numbers and mean nothing.  Your head unit produces 27 watts per channel.  This should not be a sufficient drain on your vehicle's electrical system to be affected by engine speed, unless your vehicle has a really old and bad battery and/or an old, bad or really small alternator.   Does the output level change anytime you apply the brake pedal, even if you're parked?  If so, you have a HU wiring issue, probably need a better ground, or you have cross-connected something under the dash.  Did you use a proper wiring kit?  What's the vehicle?   If the output from that small an amplifier is really changing based on engine speed, you need to get that vehicle checked out as you have a major failure in your electrical system.

Sounds to me like you need to take your car to a shop and have them test your electrical system.

Do you notice anything else dimming such as you headlights when you apply your brakes? I am not 100% sure but it be a sign of your alternator failing.

no its just the volume of the hu //meh66//. well i was thinking the same but cause it is the only thing im having a prob with i think ill just replace the batt and alt and if that does not fix it then ill just fork out the bens and take it to the shop cause i have to have that prob fixed before i start shoveling watts into my trunk? right

You somehow turned on (AVL) automatic volume leveling. That is a feature on that fine HU you own that adjusts the volume to the speed of the vehicle to compensate for road noise. push the volume knob, go to audio, push the knob again, and scroll to the AVL feature. Highlight AVL and push the knob again to turn it off.

Hope this helps
