I have seen the schematics on other Mustang sites and crutchfield.com. just google for them.

It is possible that the radio/amp might have an internal drain.

To confirm that radio is draining the battery. I would use a ohm meter in series with positive battery cable and post. Then, pull fuses to determine which circuit is the cause. The amp draw should drop quite a bit if that circuit is faulty.

This is what I would do here. I would use a test light though (easier to see when you are pulling fuses.
