New Alternator And Batt. And Alt. Not Charging.

Put in new alternator and new battery. Made sure ground was had good connection on alt. and battery cables were snug. Alternator still not charging Batt. It sits at 12V at idle, then after about 30-45 seconds the battery light comes on showing the charging system is not working correctly. Where should i start looking for the problem first? And what all could cause this. Also my radio/aux plug/cigaret lighter is not working also but fuses are good.

you could have a bad new alternator-ask your parts store to test it and they should exchange it if it's bad
