Why does my car radio keep turning off and back on?

During the last few weeks, during random moments, my car radio/cd player will abruptly shut off and then turn back on in a few seconds. There's usually a sound that it makes, like it's shorting out or something. And one of the times, I was sitting at a red light when it happened and my car died.

This is odd to me that it died because I figured it was a fuse on the stereo - or loose wire. Also, I had a new battery installed a few months back from a guy at AAA. He installed it in a parking lot when my other battery died - so maybe it was not properly done. Not sure if this is related or not.
