My battery kept going dead so I did a parasitic draw test and I have a huge draw coming from the radio circuit. Is there a common problem with the Mach systems that they draw that much power even when the car is turned off?

Also, the amps in the back keep blowing out. I've put two sets in, but I'm done with that. I'm thinking about yanking the mach system out and putting in an aftermarket CD player anyways, but I'm wondering if I'm looking in the wrong place. I can't locate any good wiring diagrams to go by, so I'm just shooting in the dark.
