I tend to agree.

I talked with the shop that I bought my amps from and he stated it's not uncommon for them to have some draw. So not sure how much I'm going to gain by taking then in to have them check them. Plus I've read it a some stereo forum others having same issue, mainly on the cars that sit for a week or so between starts where it is more of a problem. So I just assumed it must be then.

I had checked the current draw with them off and found the mono amp to draw 32mA, 4 channel amp drawing 2mA using a high quality Fluke meter. These numbers being so low don't seem like enough to kill my battery, but in 2 weeks time, dead. Less than 1 yr old battery had checked out good.
