He said he changed the battery 5 times.

How do you know your alternator is perfectly fine? Check that again, or maybe your voltage regulator

If yur alternatr is fine and you know the battery(s) are are fine then as you said you most likely have somthing draining the power

To my knowledge the most common two things to drain power from a car will be an aftermarket amplifier or a car alarm with a backup battery that constantly charges itself.

hope that Helps.

Disconnect the amp and see if it still has the problem.

I would have said a bad ground of the alternator, but if you have an amp wired incorrectly, it will cause the same thing.
