have you got the remote wire in the right place coz if you dont it drains the battery i think.

you must have it connected incorrectly, where is the permanent live connected?

wheres your remote cable connected to?if you have put it on the permanent live then that will be draining your battery as your amp n sub are permanently on,put it on the blue remote cable on your head unit or if you dont have one scotch lock it to the ignition live

A power cap wont do anything.
