Default power to switching to alternator

i have a 99 accord coupe 4 cyl
i put in a brand new alternator but the car is still draining the battery within about 30 mins of driving. i have put in 4 brand new batteries since this issue started and the alternator was bought brand new at autozone. Autozone has tested the alternator as being in good working conditions. Any help would be much appreciated.

sounds like you have a current draw somewhere. you can take it to pepboys or firestone and they can do a electrical diagnosis for pretty cheap. friends taurus only cost 40

Do you have anything aftermarket installed that would drain a lot of power? I'm thinking more like a sound system?
