stereo draining batt

[9eightGTEE]

I didnt hook up my stereo on my car it came with the car. but the amp is getting its power from the battery as most systems do, but mine seems to be draining my batt. If i hook it up to the batt i usually get one start. Next start I lose all power until i unhook it from the batt and try again she starts right up. The amp does shut off when i turn the car off. Any solutions to the problem?

Replace amp.

Put amp on switched power.

probably nothing wrong with the amp, but the remote turn on wire is wired to a constant 12V source, move to a remote turn on from the stereo or key switched source.

He said the amp shuts off.

If the turn-on wire was on 12V constant, the amp would not shut off.
