How can I keep my car audio capacitor from running down my car battery?

I noticed that my car audio capacitor stays on ALL the time now, I don’t know if there is a short in it or not? It always runs my car battery down. I can’t keep jumping my car off every time I turn it off.. How can I fix this?

Seems that something is wrong with the installation.

If you had it professionally installed, take it back and have them fix the problem.

If you did the installation, inspect the wiring and make sure that when the ignition is off (as in not in accessory mode) that all power to your stereo is off as well.

run a relay to the power to the capacitor to control the power.
