Default something weird

so yeah was crusing down the road the other day listening to my new system and i noticed that when ever the bass hits really hard that my speedometer goes with the beat...its not just vibrating cuz of all the bass its actually moving up and down with the beat... could this be a problem or possibly mess up the speedo?

here is some pics of the system ;]




the word punch i painted GGP!


any ways limmie know asap if there is any way it could mess up the speedo because it will suck if i have to buy a new one of them -_-

lol, that's kinda funny ... its like the car is groovin' too!

maybe the wiring? as in, the wires to the sub touching or really close proximity to the wires to the spedo. The sub (which is MASSIVE i might add, holy cow) makes sound because a wire tells it to, so the same wire signal might also be jumping

thats the only think i can think of unless theres an exogenous 'z' factor

The speedo needle is sensitive, but probably will be fine. I like your system set-up.
