	| i'd just check your alternator with a multimeter - a good one will probably output 13-14 volts whilst at idle.  With your stereo running it'd probably producing a lot less than 12 which is what your battery needs to stay at a constant charge... it may have just eventually gone flat 
 After a while batteries do run down and get to a point where its really just not worth trying to recharge them anymore as they don't hold it for as long as they used to.
 
 Check your alternator's voltage and i'd advise just replacing your battery anyway with a larger capacity heavy duty one for your stereo.
