my shorting problem

i have an 88 n/a recently i have been having trouble with my electric. My cd player is cutting out, it will start doing it about every time i turn it up and after that it will cut out like every five sec also my battery went dead yesterday i charged it back up and no problems untill now, after the stereo cuts out i look at my volt guage and its reading almost 16 volts, normally its reading lil under 14 volts do i have a short going at my altenator or maybe even my starter....i kindof need to find out fast because i am starting a new job soon and i dont want this holding me back.
thanks for any resonse,
steven

Your voltage shouldn't "be" 16. Now whether or not it really is, you need to test.

this sounds like an issue with the wireing on your stereo, is it a new install? was it done yourself or at a pro shop?, either your ground is not grounded correctly or the memory and or pwoer wire(s) are hooked up wrong.. you can find info on hooking up a aftermarket stero in the faq,
