you say voltage is good, but at what value? idling?
>12volts doesn't always mean good.
13.5-14.4 volts is a typically good range.
The battery may display 12Volts at rest, but once you load it voltage may drop to <9 volts; and that's bad.

Battery light indicates a discharge on the battery.

Do you have a stiffening capacitor in the stereo system?
Does the car start hard(crank slow)?
