The first thing I would do is start by checking the radio wiring and make sure that you installed it correctly and all the wires have a good connection. Check the connections on the battery make sure their tight, if all of that is good I would assume that the battery is bad but test it before you get a new one.

yeaa it was an stupid overlooked situation i went to take the battery out and i touched the negative and all the lights went on so i cleaned the terminal and it started right up.The grond coming off of the battery was also a little loose..im glad that s all it was.
