Lights and Radio Turn off whlie driving
Ok so nothing has changed about my car (94 gsr dc2) electronically for the past 6 months. The other day i was driving and my headlights and radio shutoff but not my motor as well as my battery light turning on. Then everything turned back on a second later. Same thing started happening today so I tried to isolate the problem. Turned off my car and checked the voltage of the battery which read about 12.9v, then turned the car on with no other devices on and it read about 14.8, turned the radio on and dropped to 14.6, then the lights dropped it to about 14.3 and fluctuated up and down as normal. I decided to take it to autozone anyways so they can test for free and they said battery cells were going bad so i bought a new battery. Problem still occurred then I replaced my shitty HIDs with all oem lights. problem still occurs. I checked all fuses and grounds and all seem to be intact. I dont know what the problem could be. The only additional information I have is that 6 months ago I installed an alarm and everything works except the siren I fried, and have had a hyper blink since; but this has caused no electrical problems that I am aware of.
Thanks for reading and any advice.
update 10/10/2012: I pulled out the fried siren from the alarm I still had sitting there and also checked for power at my headlights, when i turn them on they are getting 12v but the brand new sylvania ultra-bright $64 blubs were not working. Took a closer look and found that they had blown.... I plugged in the old crappy HIDs from DDM Tuning and they work but I still have the hyper blink and have not driven my car far (which is normally when everything shuts off). I will find out tonight what happens.
10/11/2012: the problem still occurs so i unplugged my alarm and my radio fuse just to see if the problem would still occur, sure enough it does. I also took my car to sears today to get my alternator checked and it was OK.
Tomorrow I plan to buy a better multimeter with alligator clips and checking from parasitic draw as posted in team-integra.net

update 10/14: blower motor still works when this occurs, wipers work but are a little accelerated due to slight surge in power. Tried switching the front turn signal bulbs to see if the it actually was the bulbs, hyper blink still occurs only on left. so still these issues remain:
- Battery/Charging light in cluster first comes on
- shortly after the radio cuts out
- then headlights shutoff
- when dome light is in door position, it still emits about 10% of light
- hyper blinking only on left ( front left parking light does not illuminate correctly)
