Charged battery yesterday, car wont start today?

This is exactly what happened:

Monday night: tested a DD2515 and purchased. Drove home happy without a problem.

Tuesday morning: car wouldnt start, used jumper cables and it started perfectly. Left it on for a few minutes, turned it off. Went inside.

Tuesday afternoon: wanted to demo my sub to a friend and i went to start the car, wouldnt start. I had only moved my car to a different spot in my driveway so my brother could park. Thats all.

Drove my car to autozone(2 minute drive. Literally) and had batt checked. They said batt had life, just needed to be charged. Went home, dismounted battery, took to AZ.

Tuesday night: picked up batt, they said it was charged 100% and i went home to mount. Car took a bit to start, but it turned on. Played around with the stereo, since it had been reset. Turned car off, and went in to sleep.

This morning (wednesday): late to work and car wouldnt start. Cried for a few minutes and threw a fit. And here i am lol

this is also a possibility. my bro's 95 marquis pulled my optima RT down to 1.**v over a matter of a week or 2. luckily i got it back healthy now. never did dig into it to find the leech tho.

Figured it out: remote wire was touching power and my amp was staying on for about 3-4 days for 24hrs
