| I got nice Hifonic brutus 1200d amps in my car and after I leave the car to sit for a week battery dies. But when I disconect the amp from the battery I can leave the car sit two weeks and it would not drain. I did the parasitic load test and seems to me that amps draws some juice at first second of connecting it to charge the capacitors but then it stops. So I don't know about this, any opinions? |

Firts make sure, that amp isn't on. One strain of power cable touch a remoteterminal etc.
Amps shouldn't draw current if there of, but I have seen amp, that was broken, but produced sound. And it drawed current when it was of. Half of power supply was gone. |

Hi
If you think it is problem in amp...is it possible that your battery isn't charged fully? Amp should, I think, use <1mA I think, since everything inside has at that point M ohme resistence, even clock will draw more current. I had similar problem, my battery was not charged at all, music would play, but motor could do only one or two turns, after using car next day for say 2h, I didn't use music, I charged battery fully! Before this I had only 13.8v with engine on, now it is 14.4v or something like that |

Yeah, the amp *shouldn't* be drawing any current, at all.
Keep in mind, you live in Phoenix (looks like), and car batteries and the heat don't get along too well. |
