Ok, i got my car back from the mechanic. And he told me my alpine amp was drawing 2 amps from my battery while the car was off. Just wanted to know if this is normal. I don't think it is, what should i check or change? I also have a 2nd little battery. Could that be it.

More than likely it is your second little battery. Is the amplifier staying lit up when you turn the car off? Just to verify it is your battery, remove the fuses that are on the amplifier, not the one in the power wire, but the ones that are actually on the amp itself. If the battery is still going dead, it is your second little battery. If it is not going dead anymore, it is probably the amp.
The amplifier has a remote turn on wire, it is supposed to be connected to the blue/white wire of your aftermarket radio. What is it connected to?
the remote wire is connected to the blue and white wire off the head unit, i have it running to a kill switch than to the amp. I disconnected the remote wire to see if it was still drawing power, and it is. I'll try the fuse thing. The amp doesn't light up, it looks off, maybe it is the second battery. Is that normal

If the second battery is not in good condition it will pull current trying to keep itself charged.
