the remote wire should be one of the wires coming out of the radio harness. i am assuming that you are using a aftermarket cd player and an amp. the remote wire is usually the BLUE wire coming from the harness. you connect that directly to the remote slot on your amp. you may need to run a wire from the deck to the amp. a simple 12-16 gauge wire will suffice. this will make it when you turn off you cd player it will power off the amp. its really kind of wierd to not have one. the only other way the guy could have hooked it up is by connecting the remote wire directly to the battery. which would be unorthodox and wrong. he must not have had any idea what he was doing.

another solution is that he may have not put a capacitor between the amp and battery. basically a fuse that will keep your battery from getting spikes in wattage when the base hits. no capacitor could cause a cell in your battery to go bad. which would make it seem as though your battery is getting drained.

hope this helps
