yea, check Alternator for sure, on the drive the batter should have charged from having to start, and everything should run fine on a normal battery
depending on how much power you have going to those subs or whatnot, you either need a cap, or a separate power for it -------------------- |

check the alternator, and get an optima red top, or yellow top battery.
 . i wouldn't consider a dead battery as "breaking down". hope it's nothin too expensive.
