Bass box?
You mean a subwoofer?
Make sure speaker connections are good, and water isnt getting inside the door
If you got a class A/B amp, that may be the main reason of your battery drain
Make sure you are using 0~2 gauge ground wire to ensure good grounding
Read up on a big 3 upgrade
I would suggest an Optima Yellow top

Did you install it yourself?
Get sony/pioneer/kenwood/alpine or anything reputable

he said a shop did it...
most places dont install Capacitors .... they store power to help on the drain that your amp will pull it all depends on how many amps your pulling but if u are pulling over 600.... you should get one... hell i have one..
this is where i buy my **** at... even if u just buy 1 Farad capacitor it will help

i love alpine but there **** isnt cheap... and if that to much kenwood is good too...
but remember u get what u pay for..

so either way i suggest recharging your battery, and if you cant recharge ur battery at home drain it hitch a ride to wherever you got your battery and say something is wrong..yadda yadda. they will most likely recharge it for you.(its un-ethical though.)

I checked the wiring, it seems to be all good. going with mosnster wires. and also i figured out the batter problem, i charged the battery about 10 hours put it back in and hooked it all up and instead of my radio going on and off (same with speakers) it played perfectly. everything seemed to be good after that. so either way i suggest recharging your battery, and if you cant recharge ur battery at home drain it hitch a ride to wherever you got your battery and say something is wrong..yadda yadda. they will most likely recharge it for you.(its un-ethical though.)
