System In Battery Dead

alright so what could be the cause of my battery dying so fast, i mean there has to be something wrong with the install if it died in 4 days.

Of course if your amp's REM wire isn't connected to a cut off source and it's always on...
Then that WILL drain your battery.

Of course if this is the case it would be nice if you could mention it.

which one is the rem wire?

It's the one on the amp labeled REM. For remote turn on.

Does your amp always stay on, even when your radio in the car is off?

Then it's another cause and you need to fix the battery then test to find out what's going on.

while you're at it fix the amp install.

Connect your amp directly to the battery using an in line fuse. Make sure your HU's REM wire is correctly hooked up to the amp. Make sure you have a decent ground location for your amp.

After this, charge or replace(if needed) your battery.

Purchase a DVM, if you don't already own one. These can be found at a hardware store or walmart. Then test the voltage of your car with it on, and the stereo playing.

Track the problem down.
