Hi, need some help deciding which glue will work best for sticking vinyl to mdf. thanks

1992 bmw 318i. 2 alpine amps and 2 type R subs. the cap and d/block are respone. from an electronics shop called Jaycar.

so installing a switch should stop the cap and d/block from draining any charge at all. if i did this i'd like to have it up front, i don't wanna have to pop the boot everytime i wanna turn them off. any help on this, i don't really wanna run 2 new 2gauge lines back to the dash... but if i...

with just the d/block connected nothing else-11.8-11.4 in 4 hrs with just the cap nothing else 11.8-11.3 in 4 hrs nothing connected - no change in 4 hrs so it looks like they are both taking very slight charge out. and if left for a day or 2 probably enough to drain the batt beyond starting...

Just checked the battery, after 4 hrs it has dropped from 11.8 to 11.4. This may sound stupid... but what tells the cap and d/block to turn off when i turn the car off? does it need a remote wire like amps do?

i've replaced the alternator and battery, no better!!

Sorry, atm if i don't start the car after a day or so the battery is dead. so i'm guessing something is drawing from the battery even when the car is turned off. was hoping someone could look at the pic and find something i did wrong.

I'm having a problem with my battery atm, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. its only started happening since i installed my stereo. Diagram is attached. Thanks in advance.
