took my battery to checker auto parts to get it tested

Can you tell me how did they test it? cause if they only put a volt meter on it to see how much voltage the battery has means nothing, it has to to run a "current draw test" to proof the battery is good or not.
When you have a stereo system that draws alot of current (amp, power, voltage, juice...whatever you call it) from the battery, it is best that you have the system connect to another battery. Eventhough you change your alternator, it may still have the same problem if the output of the alternator does not provide enough ampage to your stereo system then your battery will tribute the difference.
Try to find out how much ampage does your alternator puts out, it should shows on the alternator's casting.

while i was coasting i turned off the car for a good 10 seconds and it started just fine. When i got home i turned car off and it wouldnt start back up, when i try to start it, it sounds like the battery is dead.

How long was the drive home from the time you turn off the engine and started back up?
Do the lights light up on your dash board when you turn the key to the first click in the ignition switch?
Do the lights go dim when you try to crank it?
Did the engine try to turn the second time when you crank it?
For now, all I can advice you is that don't turn on any electrical system before you start the car.
Also, after you jump started the car try to at less let it run for about 20 minutes striaght without using any electrical system before turning it off and then please answer the above questions again.
