I notice that the airbag off light on the upper dash, center stays on while driving. Is this a problem?

If it is lit up for "off" this could mean that either there is something in the passenger seat that is similar to the weight of a small child, the passenger seat cushion sensor is faulty, the system needs to be recalibrated, or there is a fault of some other kind with the system. Other than ensuring that the passenger seat is clear, all other testing will need to be done with a scan tool that has the capability to read codes, parameters, and recalibrate the zero point setting.

I forgot to mention that the seat is unoccupied with the exception for a couple of items placed there weighting no more than 6 ounces. Also, under the seat is an audio amplifier mounted to the floor - could that be causing a conflict with the SRS?

Only if it is contacting something under there or the wiring is tampered with.
