My car's voltage dies while driving?

94 mitsubishi mirage, tested good alternator, new battery, checked all connections to/from battery. The thing is i could start and run great, but when i drive my power slowly goes down until eventually theres not enough power to keep itself going. What can be taking all my power away while im driving? and when its off and in the driveway it doesnt take any power away. Any realistic suggestions will be greatly appreciated

    One way u can test your own alternator without taking it off is start the vechile and disconnect the negative terminal off the battery and if the car dies out then it's the alternator. Cause any alternator tester Does not put the alternator under your vehicles specific load from the engine
