Something is draining the battery faster than the alternator can supply voltage. I assume you don't have a huge sound system. Check for bad grounds and good connections especially around the battery and alternator.

If you bought the Alternator @ Pepboys I would say thats your problem.
You have a small battery kit? Do they have issues with the cold?
