Answer
Could be both at the same time causing the problem BTDT and also a wiring/connection problems.
As for your ghetto blaster having the right battery capacity and a good working alternator wiill make your sounds sounding off.
Then again if you have an electrical short causing the the battery to drain-you'll be back to numero uno-
well right now im at school, but after school im pretty much going straight to autozone and im going to have them check it just to be safe so that i know for sure that it is in fact either the alternator, or the battery, or like you said, both.
what's BTDT?
i did finally make it to autozone and they tested my car, and all they came up with is that it was just a simple dead battery (since the *loaner* bettery was in there, there was in fact, nothing wrong).
apparently i was the 3rd person in that day with the same problem. it's been extremely hot and humid around here lately.
but i got one almost exactly the same for about 50 bucks, not bad i dont think, especially since i needed one with top and side post terminals. :D
Well am glad that you got it taken care off- Always perform all the basics when you have a car problem-you never know
