Default New audio system and Batterey dies? What can i do?

Do think that possibly i need a new alturnator that has more amps so this wont happen again. Or maybe have the speakers connected to a 4 channel amp becuz they are connected to my stereo which i know runs direct on batterey. Give me advice!!!!!!

upgrade battery and alternator or try a Jacobs Accuvolt.

How many times did you play the system without the engine running and run the battery down?
