88 4runner starting issues

Ive aways had this issue with it, there has to be alot of juice in the battery to get this thing started, i have a sound system in it and when i play it for 1 minute it drains the battery very quickly, i have an electric fan that drains it too very quickly aswell. I have tried two new batteries in it and still does the same. however when i go to start it sometimes it doesnt start at all, the starter relay clicks and theres nothing until i either jump it or roll start it. ive found a solution for when it happens when im not at home-park on a hill put it in third and roll it a few inches in gear to turn the crank and the wierdest thing is it starts most of the time after that. Anybody got any ideas? im stumped, ive checked the grounds and made a bigger one to the body to the NEG battery and a POS from the battery to the alternator. still nothing fixes this. I replaced the starter thinking it was the problem but it was not the problem.
