Need Help - Rough Start, Bad Voltage

The upset never lasts more than a second or two, but it is definitely noticeable. Is this normal? Anything I should check or do right away? TIA!

OK, so you probably don't have a suspect aftermarket alternator. Your electrical system sounds weak, it could be either the battery, connections, or the alternator. Is your aftermarket stereo a big draw?
