You need to install a capacitor inline between you battery and your amplifier.  What is happening is that you are drawing all your systems power from the battery.  Your alternator tries to keep up with the electrical load, but can't, and that's why your alternator died.  So you need to buy a capacitor and install it following directions on package for charging and installing.  They don't cost much, maybe $100.  You need at least a 1 to 1.5 farad cap.  This should solve your problem.  Let me know how this helps.
