Did you clean the terminals on the battery clables before you installed the new battery? Do you have a system in your car? Does the car sit for a day or two (without being ran) and then it won't strat?

A few overlooked things to, well, look at:
Glovebox light...if it is stuck at the on position, you will never know it
Trunk light, hood light...same as above..for the trunk light...pop open your passthrough door in the backseat and have a look. Hood you will have to crawl under the car at night to see it.
Stuck brake light switch.
Stuck power lock somewhere.

Supposed to go down far enough so it is equal with the little rubber piece that sticks up about a inch. Do you hear the motor in the trunk running after you car is off trying to pull the antenna down further? That will kill the battery.
