Well I had a draw on my battery I finally chased it down to the passenger side rear amp. My system is 100% stock. The right amp was drawing .18 miliamps and was killing the battery. So I unhooked the amp and the draw is gone. So here is my ? When I disconnected the right amp there was no change in sound I still have bass. When I disconnect the left amp I lose all base. I am not sure how this system is connected but am I only driving the rear speakers and sub with one amp. I was also told that it may have not been the amp it may have been the speaker. I was told that if the speaker blows it can cause the amp to go bad. How can I test if it is the Speaker or just the amp? Thanks for the help.

ohm the speaker, that will let you know if the speaker is bad...ie welded voice coil or broken voice coil.
If you have access to the leads going to the speaker from the amp, disconnect the wires and place your Ohm meteer on the cables. I'm not sure what it shoudl measure, I assume 8 or 4 ohms. Bottom line though - if it measures 0 you have a short and the speaker would need to either be disonnected or replaced.
I'm not sure how you would measure the amp though.
