Weird Audio Problem

Well yesterday I went to my car after leaving it sitting for 2 days and it was completely dead. Got the volt meter out and my battery was at a 0. I figured out that it was my amps draining it because theyre not turning off when the car is off anymore. I have the remote hooked up to the rear fuse box (I think its tapped to #7). It was working before (I think, never noticed an issue) but now its draining everything quick.

Also when I disconnect the remote wire from #7, the amps don't shut off. Any ideas?

I used the remote from my head unit, but it's aftermarket. I would say tap another source.

Yeah, it's suppose to now that I think about it. The cigar lighter fuse blew in my car and my radio wouldn't come on, but it's because I tapped the cigar lighter as the remote. Sounds like you're getting power to your remote wire some how even with the car off. Make sure it's not making contact with your power wire.
