Battery Light
So yesterday my battery light came on, and my subwoofer(and its respective amp) went out. It would periodically come back and the light would go away. Well today it never went away and no subwoofer, and at one point the other speakers went out too. I came home and checked the voltage, and it was reading 16.3 while on and 12.4 off. 16+ seems a bit high to me...
Anyway, no other electrical issues yet...
New stuff:
Ok so now my radio has turned off a few times too, not sure if my stuff is protecting itself or what, but all are on when in idle in drive. When I start driving some go off some don't. Battery light is off as well until I start driving.

Re: Battery Light
I would suspect once you start driving the alternator spins faster and is outputting more voltage than it should. I would get your alternator checked immediately or at least check the belt that's on it and make sure it's properly tightened. If your alternator is outputting that high you could blow out the ECM.
