I am almost going to bet that the amp is toast. Go over the ground again, check to ensure that the RCA cables are not grounding out as well. To me, it smells like a bad amp.

If your Rpm's drop alot with all these accessories on, then the Alt is the problem !
It'll be worse with a power sucking car audio system !
The amp could be toast as wll...

BUT UPGRADE YOUR ALT ANYWAY!!!
