I got that url, but i'm not sure that is what i'm lookin for. I think it is the single bracket that goes in the middle of the diff to the frame. Or is that what those brackets are?

Have you determined that the battery (or batteries) is/are fully charged, and in good condition?
Based on what you've told us, that's the first thing I'd do.
It's possible that the batteries were sketchy to begin with, and took a hit from powering your sound system for some time with the engine off.
Disconnect them and try to fully charge them, then test them with a proper battery analyzer like a Midtronics. That will tell you exactly how many CCA they have, and if they're good or bad.
