Default RPM Gauge Bounceing!

My RPM gauge just randomly started bounceing a couple days ago. Im not sure why this started. Could any one give me some advice?

I suspect your sound system is drawing more juice than the alternator can provide and the voltage is dropping. This will make the instruments, especially the tach, act weird. Diconnect your system & see if the trouble goes away. If it goes away, then you need a bigger alternator.
