what is causing the overload?

Have a 94 accord 4D
started noticing the problem when i listen to my radio the thing would shut off then start again less power full
have aftermarket head lights+tail lights
2amps and 2sub 4sony speakers

my battery keeps draining but once i jump start the car the battery is fine until i turn it off and will not start
saw the altenator looking old so replaced it with a drand new one
then the same thing still happens when i listen to my radio
but the battery does not get drained
so i thought due 2 the old battery went through so much let me replace it went to discount auto and bought a new battery thats more powerfull then the original silver star had in there but right after putting it the radio still does the same thing shuts off for 2 secs then comes back less powerfull
so i tested the battery there and with the car ON there is negative 30amps (does fluctuate 21-30) on the battery everything turned off (radio, air,lights, everything... that i can think off) so i was told by them with the car ON the altenator is suppose to keep the battery on +amp but we know the altenator is working fine because it was just replaced (less than a week ago and soveld the problem with the car not starting) so there is something draining the thing what can it be, ??????
please help
