My teg keeps sporadically shutting off while i'mo driving!

A little backstory:
So! I have had my 92 gsr for some time now and everything has been dandy. I bought a pair of 2 kicker 300w comp 10s and a kicker 600w amp off some kid. my friends and i installed it and the car powered them fine. a few weeks later the battery went out after its 8 or so years of operation. got that replaced and car was running fine. so my gf got me a new deck for christmas and i installed it myself and then my current problem started.

(keep in mind i have found no pattern to this problem i.e; bass too loud, no bass, running it hard exc...
except that the car dies on a decel, as in when i'm coming to a red light and push in the clutch to stop.)

at first the deck would just die for a second and turn back on and play like normal. then after a few days it would turn off and then back on a few times within a short drive, but not every time i drove/drive it. there were days when it wouldnt happen at all. now the deck turns off and then back on a few times and then the car will die completely. sometimes it will go a week with nothing going wrong and sometimes it will die 5 times in 5 min.

I was told it could be a bad alternator spinning wrong on a decel, and i am hoping its just my lack of a capacitor in the system. i know this is long and convoluted but any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Well you could get the alternator tested also recheck the wiring for the stereo.The alternator might not be able to keep up with everything running that's why it dies
