What should my voltage be???

[Giovanni15 10+ year member]

I just bought a volt meter to see what i rub whenever i play my music. I have an fi bl 15 on a hifonics brx1600.1D. my suv has a stock alt of 125 amps. big 3 upgrade with audio technix 0 gauge. i run anywhere from 13.4v-14v while driving around. i never listen to music when im not driving unless its a stoplight, etc. is that a good range to be in? my other option is to upgrade the batt under the hood or put a second in the back but would that help my voltage out? any advice appreciated. thanks

My car (mazda3) will drop to about 12 if i have a really hard hitting song on. Mind you stock 90a alt, stock battery, no big 3. So you should be okay
