Alternator Issues.

When I start my car the voltage is pretty good(in the 14s). But it after awhile the voltage goes way down. We are talkin 12 volts or less(yesterday it was 10.8V). I dont know if its because the alternator is getting hot or what. Here are some spec on my car that might help

New alternator(<2 years but only 1500 miles TOPS)
New battery
Battery in trunk
0 guage wire from trunk to front for power
4 gauge ground from battery right to chassis in the trunk
Alternator has a ground wire to chassis
New power wires from fuse box to alternator
New alternator belt
JMF heatshield on manifold
Homemade heatshield on O2 housing

Im thinking that its either a bad alternator OR I need to run a ground from the trunk to the front. Anyone have any other ideas
