ok, first question, is this a "new" stereo install? or is the problem just starting?

Have you checked to see if the battery connections are nice and clean and the battery isn't dropping cells? Do you get any "idiot" lights when the key is in the "on" position?

The clicking you are hearing under the dash, are you sure they are under the dash and you aren't hearing the starter trying to turn? I would call but am not in a position to at the moment..
