battery drain

so i fitted a small 4ch pioneer amp.
i used a iso lead fully wired.
everything works as it should,except the amp powers up with unlock and dont go off till 6.5 minuetes after locking
this runs down my cars battery.
any ideas guys?

Sounds like the lead you connected to is retaining power after ignition of. Find a different power connection that turns off with the ignition.

There are a few different "kinds" of circuits in these cars:
- always on (alarm, engine computer as examples)
- switched off when the car is initially fully shut off (head unit, amp)
- delayed switched when the car is initially fully shut off (interior lights)

You've tapped into the last circuit as the amp's "turn on" signal.
