DUDE thats FUNNY!!!!

and Yes I have seen it... You my friend, have a SHORT

my guess is that the radio is wired into the lighting circuit somehere and that there is a grounding issue.

Start tracing the wires bud!!!!!

I'm also assuming that you have an aftermarket stereo!!!

My deck will shut itself off if the battery voltage drops to around 10v. Found this out trying to get home minus one alternator belt.

Micky mouse installed the radio and hooked the radio ground up to the stock dash light lead (red/black)
