I've had mine back there a year, and daily drove it until recently.

Are you sure that you're getting a good ground? And like staringback05 said, what gauge wire are you running?

Mine is a Taylor 2ga, I'm running a stock alternator, and I get between 13.5 and 14 volts when the car is running, with an Optima red top in the back.

You know, that alternator will charge better under load.
