What all did you install? Wired up wrong, or big amps can drain a battery fast.

go back and check your wiring just to rule out the radio.

Shouldn't burn out that fast. A new alternator should last for years. You must have accidentally done something to cause a battery drain or disconnect your alternator. Run it over to Autozone and they'll check your charging system for you. Then at least you'll know if your alternator is working or not.
