The primary source of current for your loads, which is your factory electronics plus any audio system electronics you added, is the alternator...
Until it can't keep up with the demand, and then your amplifier is drawing from the battery. That's what happens when you see the voltage drop below 13.
When the current draw drops enough for the alternator to "catch up" the voltage at the input side of the amplifier will go up.
You're going to measure less voltage at the amplifier than you will measure at the alternator or at the underhood battery.
