[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8703971, member: 679555"] Your car battery is dying due to the wiring behind the head unit. I don't know what anyone was thinking as they wired it to stay on when you leave the car. The amps rely on the head unit signal cable to tell them when to turn off so they're likely always powered on. They use quite a bit even when they're not playing music. Check the lights on your amps, they should be turning off at the same time as your head unit. If they're not then there's a major wiring issue.. Also no, you should never have to use a switch to turn off the amps, that's a ghetto solution for no reason. I might have missed something, but I tried my best to read that giant block of text.
