It is your alternator. The alternator is what keeps your battery charged.

well.....

1) did you use a remote turn on, or is your amp drawing power constantly from the battery?

2) all your lights (nozzle fog) can be turned off right? (sounds stupid but you never know)

3) did you let it idle for 30 mins or did you drive it? Or did you idle it for 30 mins with the radio/amp on full ? Letting a dead battery'd car idle for 30 mins will not recharge the battery to a good capacity.

4) Gauge lights? Do you mean when the key is in the ignition, in the on position, but the car is not started yet? Its normal for the lights to light up in this situation.

5) <flame for fraga> were you too busy stealing his signature pic to notice you left your damm lights on </flame for fraga>
