What the F@$^%& is wrong with my car?

Ok so I replaced the terminals and put the alternator on. Put the new optima battery in and same thing. So it fried the optima, 3rd battery this week. I can understand people thinking its the starter or flooded but what the hell is frying all the batteries, charging or no charging?! I took the optima back and it was fried so they replaced it. Rather than let me try to figure out what else could be the cause my boyfriend put it in the car saying he thinks it will work this time... Of course it didnt, so Im sure this optima is fried as well.
So Im assuming between 2 alternators and 4 batteries the issue is somewhere else. I know the sound of the air pumo your talking about RR and I guess that makes sense that that is the noise it just sounds more high pitched and whinier than usual.
Should I replace the fuse on the positive terminal maybe? It looks ok but at this point Im willing to do back flips to get this thing running!
