the battery is only about 2 months old. after realizing the drain on the battery I put a tender on it and went to put a test light between the bat and neg cable it blew my test light. Im assuming I have a live circut here. I also noticed that the fosgate amp is powering on when I disconect the neg bat cable. the neg on the amp is directly connected to the bat. I am moving the amp ground to another location.

OK. Not the battery. But there is no way to "power up" an amplifier if you completely remove ALL wires from the negative side of the battery. Are you certain there is not another wire running to the battery ground terminal?

Update
so here's the deal, I have an electrical ground somplace draining my bat dead. with the car running the alt reads 15.4 and the bat reads 14.83 with an ohm meter. so this tells me my alt is charging like it should. I have made sure my bat is ground out like it should, everything works when the car is running, lights, radio, seats, mirrors,windows, guages nothing seems to be out of wack.
im stumped.
anyone have any ideas?
