hey guy I have 2 kenwood amps in my truck and if the truck has been sitting for like 1 or 2 weeks the battery dies. Can anyone tell me why this is happening. Its hooked up a 4awg from the battery all the way to the back wall of the cab, then I have a fuse block with 2 8awg to the 2 amps. Do I have something hooked up wrong?

It's either the battery is bad or something is draining it down. You could charge up the battery and disconnect it the next time you let the truck sit.. if the truck starts after two weeks then most likely something is draining the battery. Make sure everything is off and measure current draw at the battery. Let us know how much current draw there is.

I think I figured it out it's my amps that are pulling the juice. How do I test it with a multimeter for current being drawn from the battery?

Um sure your remote line isn't connected to a constant??? That'll drain your battery.
