What sort of alarm, if any, have you got. my mk2s battery onyl lasts about the same, so im upgrading to a biiiiig 1. cuz size matters lol

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)
