Pick up a cheap digital voltage meter and start (or jump start) the car. Check the voltage, it should be between 12-14 volts. Shut off the car then periodically check the voltage to see if there is any drain on the battery. If there is no drain then everything is fine, but if the voltage starts to drop below 12v then you've got either a short, or your new battery won't hold a charge.
Sounds like your head unit is not wired correctly. The yellow wire should go to a switched power source (ignition) and the red wire should be connected to a constant power supply. The red wire is what the head needs in order to have memory (presets, disc track, levels, etc). The yellow wire is what turns the head off when you turn the car off. It sounds like you have both wires connected to constant power.
