[QUOTE="SicAudio, post: 5935532, member: 609136"] check your wiring for all the aftermarket equipment, make sure your amps are off when the key is off. if it didnt do it b4 it was installed then something new ( remote line is the most likely bet ) is constantly drawing current. it sounds to me like you have the amp remote lead constantly powered on. until you find the problem a new battery wont help at all. do you know how to check for a parasitic draw? remove the negative battery cable and set your dmm to 10 amp setting and connect it between the neg cable and the neg terminal on the battery. anything higher than .5 amps is way too much. start pulling fuses til the draw drops below .2 amps. that will tell you what circuit it is. and you can go from there to find it exactly.
