battery draining?, or bad wiring or something? Options

[brianforster]

After finishing my stereo yesterday this morning I came out and tried to start the car and the car needed to be jumped.

After I jumped it, I shut it off and then turned it back on (the battery had no time to charge) and then it started right up. My step dad said that it probably wasnt the battery being dead if it started back up.

The battery is 3 years old should I just replace it and see if that solves the problem?

Also is running a power wire to the stereo from the battery a constant drain on it?

Whats the best way to attach a power wire.

thanks all

It shouldent be draining your battery unless you have a short circuit some where. For the Amp about the only thing you can do it install a switch on the Remote Lead so that way you can turn off your amps when you want. It may just be time to replace the battery too, I know when I had all my system going ( you've seen it ) that my battrey would last only for about 3 min then my amps would shut off, Replacing your alternater might be a good idea too.
