Weird electrical issue - Brakes hit = power loss Options

[k-weaver]

Alright guys so here is the story...

I was on my way to work this morning and everything seemed fine. I hit my brakes to slow down for a corner and right as I did so my stereo turned off, my clock reset, and the car stuttered for like a half a second. After a brief "what the hell was that?" I turned off my radio (thinking this was a possible cause) and kept driving. The rest of the entire drive I noticed my dash lights (more so my clock) would dim ever time I hit the brakes. Its as if the voltage is dropping drastically for a split second but then going back to normal.

I've yet to do any troubleshooting as I'm currently at work. Just wanted to see if anyone had any idea's that I could try out once I get home.

Going through alts like that, do you have a sound system?

I do but i've been fairly conservative since the last replacement. I've got a 4 channel amp for the highs and a really old Kicker amp for my subs (2MTX Thunder 7500). I think i'm on my 5th alt since I purchased the car which has been about 5 years. So I guess i end up replacing them once a year.

So I had everything tested and it came back fine. I'm wondering if this is the beginning stages of it going bad, works one minute, fails the next. When I got home I hooked up my multimeter. Batt is just above 12v sitting. Car on it hits about 13.2-13.4. I also put the meter on the alt and it was at 13.8. I watched the voltage as I tapped the brakes (multiple times) and you can see the dome light dim and e-brake light on the dash dims and the red light on the door dims every time I hit the brakes. Voltage however only dropped like .02. I can't see this small amount causing the dimming situation.
