Well figured it out, was a combination of a bad battery and an alternator. Had the alt. Tested just to be sure and it wouldnt even test

So far gone out wouldn't even show a charge? Lol. Man that's bad. How did it sound? Am I correct in assuming you took it to auto zone or similar place with a slave motor tester for the pulley side?

Took it to oreillys, didnt really pay attention to how it sounded was talking to the guy about my turbo mazda project I got going on lol and he was talking about his turbo 240sx (friend of mine) otherwise just sounded like something on a roller wich I figured was just the machine haha

Well hopefully that was the solution to your problem. Did you end up pulling the radio?
