Question on Alternator pulley

I currently have the AEM pulleys installed on my car. Does the pulley limit the voltage in the car? If so, does that mean my amplifiers are not getting the full voltage?

Yes and no. It limits the ability of the alternator to supply enough power by turning it slower. This normally does drop the voltage at idle. But it doesn't really affect it too much during cruise situations.
