[QUOTE="mobilworksaudio, post: 1209822, member: 563907"] Yeah i think there might be some issues with the way that you are taking your measurments... Are you testing for voltage or current/amps.... what setting is your meter on ? Where and how are your test probes connected. If you have deep cycled your battery a couple of times already then your battery will continue to be at risk for going dead more often and under shorter periods of time. First thing that you'll want to do is take your meter and set it to amps. next with the ignition off, pull the fuse for the radios constant power wire. Then put your probes in the two slots of the fuse holder. This will measure the amount of current the radio is pulling at static and will tell you if the radio is the cause. This procedure is good to use at the battery if your not sure which component is the cause or if your unsure if there is even a problem. Remember to use a good high quality meter with a high enough current capability....most meters are rated for 10amps max....but as long as you don't turn any of your components on while testing you shouldn't have any problems with your meter...
