When i try to start the car everything electronic goes out The starter makes a sound not like a clicking sound but more like it wants to start but wont. I thought it was just the starter so i replaced it but the same thing continues to happen. It sounds like the starter is spinning almost.
 
are you sure you have the right battery, you might not have enough cold cranking amps, might be the starter selanoid

That is usually the sign of a bad connection, assuming the battery is good of course. Most of the time it's at the battery, but not always. Without a meter and the know how to use it about the only thing you could try is to try starting it a couple of times and then feel if the battery connections are hot (poor connection=resistance=heat). Corrosion is also a likely spot for a bad connection.
 
boost it!

clean both battery posts and connectors then tighten securely. if that doesn't help then ,try to have the battery boosted, from another vehicle and see if it the engine spins better .
