It's possible that the stator is bad on the motor. Not sure what this motor has for a regulator or bridge. Best way to tell if there is a problem with the charging system is to get it to a dealer to test the output.

Your stereo definately is a drain on the battery.

At idle, the output of the charging system is not as much as when the RPM's are up, so it may only put out enough to run the motor, and not charge the battery. But it sounds like the motor is not charging at all, and draining the battery.
