parasitic drain

i have just a single 10in. sub in my truck and i had a 200watt amp that was fine when i drove my truck everyday. after i got to college and my truck would set for a few days the battery would drain... so i started looking for a paracitc dran, i took the fuse out of the amp and it went away. so i replaced the amp and thought it was fixed but it started doing the same thing again. i checked to make sure it wasnt in the power wire to the amp and it wasnt... its the amp thats doing it. dose neone have ne ideas on why it might be doing this?

Well, all amps are going to have an at idle drain. Just how much current is it pulling while at idle?
