Default got a problem

okay, i got a volvo s70 and my car isnt starting, its not clicking over so i dont think its the starter, but i jumped and it ran fine, my system hit hard, then i turned it off, started again, and then turned it off and then it didnt start again, so battery or alternator?

sorry for not knowing to much about shit...

and i know this is general car chat but i figured id get it the quickest response.

thanks

jesus man.
buy a battery, put it in yourself if you can handle that.
take it somewhere, have the alternator checked.
maybe dump that system in the trash, its not as cool as you think.
