Default Power Issues

Had a new CD player installed a little bit ago and now I am having significant power issues when I use my power windows or flip on my brights at night. When I do one or the other of these it causes the power to the CD player to cut out, I am looking for some possible suggestions and solutions.

Thanks!

Have you had your alternator output load tested?

I was pretty sure it was a fresh alternator, the PO had the entire engine rebuilt 2 years ago. I will have it checked out, I have a small list of things to get done when I get back from Afghanistan to get the car ready for summer.
