Electrical problems

So i was going to put a radio in my car i disconnect the negative terminal and plug in the radio and as i try to start the car everything just shuts down im wondering what could the problem be the battery didnt seem to be dieing before i drove it and was wondering could it be the radio?

i ordered it from crutchfield and it said it was compatible. can anyone help me out?

have you gone back to verify that the polarity of the connections are all as designed? in other words, might you have reversed leads or wired something
backwards?

Would you allow people to talk to you like that or to your kids? Wow. You need to be more positive with yourself and treat yourself better. Your results may vastly improve. Best of wishes and think more positive today.
