[QUOTE="mjg1988, post: 7799118, member: 642911"] With the car off, and the head unit off, the power fan of the the amp switches off, which meaning as far as i understand that there shouldn't be any power draw from the battery, but, testing it with a multi meter shows that some power is still be drawn, Not sure if its just memory power left over in the caps of the amp itself. Car is on every time i play sound due to the fact that I know and have had a battery drain on me like that once before. (learnt my lesson the hard way). Will be checking behind the Hu today after the battery has been trickle charged. Hoping it is just the remote cable. Thanks for the heads up on the Cable sizes, was told by the sound installer that it will be fine, but will have it changed. [/QUOTE]
