Is the amp set to come on only when the head unit is turned on or is it on all of the time?

Check as above, and possibly check your alternator.

But as Ste said (Predator) it could be the fact your running a permanent live to your amp, therefore when you remove keys from ignition your amp and sub are still live so will kill your battery. Who wired it all up?

Just check if the amp turns off when you switch the ignition off....
