Default Audio system drains battery?

At first i thought my battery was low and just needed a charge. But instead i had to change my alternator which had me driving on the power of the battery alone. The entire time i have a system of two 12 inch sub in a box with a 2000watt amp to push. Anyways after I changed the alternator it ran smooth for maybe a month but again started doing the exact same things happened. All of the display icons in the dash started flashing and the car started driving real sluggish so I replaced the battery. It drove right for another week then started flashing icons in the dash and driving sluggishly. I parked it but now it will not start. The auto place manager says it might be an electronic problem. Any advice is needed please

Yeah, sounds like you have something that's not cutting off and pulling the battery down. Back in the old days I would hook a test light between the battery & cable and start pulling fuses to see which one turned the light off. Might have to use a volt meter now since so many systems have a slight draw now a days.
