make sure the fuse is out of the amp wiring and the head unit doesn't stay on when the car is off.....

this is my car, i just got a stangnet account, i checked the battery with a tester the first day, it read 14. then i checked it the second day, and it said 12. does that mean that the alternator is going bad?

A battery dying like that usually means that there is a circuit in the car that remains on (closed). I would check to see if the deck remains on while the car remains off (and not in ACC either). Also check the grounds on the amp. I had an amp once with a bad ground and so the remaining power in the amp kept it on all the time (rare).
If it is the deck that remains on all the time then the red wire on the deck is hooked up to the wrong wire in the car. Hit me back with the conclusion.
