Ticking speaker: My front speaker is ticking whenever I turn the key on. It sounds like it is at the same rate as the electric fuel pump but the stereo only works with the ignition ON so I can't try them seperatly. Neither of the rear speakers or subs tick, just the front one.

Power drain: Whenever the main power to the amps/caps the battery drains overnight. Do caps pull power even when the amps are off? Or is there another explanation for this?

What are you asking by the first sentence here? Please type complete sentences.

Caps don'pull any power after they are charged.

Sorry about that: Whenever the main power to the amps/caps is connected the battery drains overnight.

you might have a wire grounding out. a wire slightly grounding out can cause a power drain. but not enough to pop a fuse. check all wires. disconnect power wire from the batt and where it contacts the first peice of equipment check for ground in the wire. is should not measure ground if it is disconnected from both sides. it should not show anything. check your other wires as well for grounding out as well as a good ground on the ground wires. and propper size wire etc.

check amps and make sure all wires are secure as well as on the cap. basically either you have faulty equipment or something is not done right.

mecp certification is not always needed. I have it and it has not helped me out at all. my experience out shines it.
