Electrical Problems

Well, ill just tell the whole story and u guys can give me ur input and ideas

So before tuesday nothing nothing has happened bad to my car electrically or mechanically for a while
i have a 500 watt amp and 2 10s
starter is 20 months old, battery is as well
and im in arizona so batteries dont last too much longer than that

anyways
i get in my car after work and put in the key and it doesnt turn it doesnt make noise, nothing, cant remember if the lights went on, but my keyless entry let me into my vehicle
so we jump it and i get ready to go , put it in reverse and i turn on the headlights and it dies
so we jump it again and i let it run for a few and i go home
when i hit the brakes the headlights almost completely dimmed then came back, and after i parked it i hit my window switch to put up the window (it wasnt down but its habit) and it died, thankfully it was home

so i put in a new battery assuming this is the problem, a megatron from interstate
and i go to work and the car ran fine

i turn it on tonite and it took a sec longer than normal to turn over and my brites indicator was on, but my brites werent and i couldnt shut them off
other than that the car was fine, but im really worried
im thinking alternator and i was gonna do it myself but i dont think i can after reading motorvates write up
so i guess ill have to take it in on saturday

what do u all think the problem is?
any advice or ideas are greatly appreciated, and damn i hope i dont get flamed
oh yea its 95 gxe by the way PR CAI greddy SP2 budget Y but that shouildnt matter
peace

matt
