Start at the battery with a ammeter, pull fuses to see what circuit is draining.

Yes this is my sig, no there is nothing for you to read. Quit looking at me, nothing is going to happen. Stop staring at me, cut it out, leave me alone....

Thanks.

So get things charged to X voltage...and then start pulling fuses till the voltage remains steady.

The problem here is I think we tapped in to some power source in the center counsel for a streetglow light switch that eventually went bad. I have a bit of work a head to do it looks like.

Sounds like you already know whats causing the drain in power. I'd start with unhooking that bad switch.

Sorry for the off topic question. Chrominpala how does the bass get in your car, it looks like it is sealed off in the trunk. I have seen many systems look like this with the woofers facing backwards, and the trunk apparantly sealed from the box.I was thinking maybe they are ported through the rear deck? Oh and I like the PG eq. Sweet!
