[QUOTE="Stalin-ohaulic, post: 6484879, member: 585517"] He observed the voltage of his battery dropping at a pretty steady rate. I would suggest disconnecting aftermarket equipment one at a time until the rate slows or stops. Then you know that the last thing you disconnected is what was causing the parasitic drain. If you get to the point where ALL aftermarket equipment is unhooked and you still see the drain, you'll have to pull your fuses 1 by 1 until you figure out where the drain is coming from. It's nearly impossible to fix a parasitic drain unless you can isolate it to a specific circuit. If you're unhooking your power wire and your car still starts with it unhooked but is dead when it's connected, that's a pretty strong indicator that it's your amp. When you measured the voltage steady at 12.89 with accessory off, how long did it stay there? If you left it and came back in 30 minutes, was the voltage still the same? Was your amp still hooked up? If so, that is sort of odd. [/QUOTE]
