The 3600W sound system? It pulls more than twice as much as the starter...
Seriously, look for bad connections in the main wiring from bat/starter to key.

already did, checked grounds, fuseable links. monitored the alternator and battery during idle, and they're all fine. i jiggled all the grounds around while idling and they're all on tight
