| check you alternator first, if that is fine, has your car got anything added to it (like electric windows), cos there could be rubbish wiring going on. or a simple thing is, is the boot light turning off when you close the boot (not even sure if bugs have these). |

| try disconnecting it completley and see what happens! surely you can run for a few days with no radio! i presume the amp is wired in correct (all the lights go out on the amp when the radio is turned off) |
