Default Frying Alternators? Help Please!!

Hello-

A couple months ago my radio started turning off when I had the A/C and lights on. It got progressively worse, to the point where my A/C started turning off. I ended up having to replace the starter, then the Alternator. I am now having the same problem 2 days after replacing the battery (they said it was bad). My ABS lights turn on and off intermittently as well. Do I have an electrical problem that is frying alternators and batteries? Is this possible?

I had a similar issue, my car wanted to shut off all the lights would go dim and it was because of my sound system and everything else. It was too much for my battery and stock alternator to power a/c, 2 hid kits, 3 amps and TVs. Now i have 2 red top optimas and no problems. hope this helps
