Sorry to hear of your troubles mate.
Just a hunch,
You recently did some mods with your audio, it is possible that your audio gateway is not going to sleep, as such the battery drains slowly.
Try removing fuse #6 after you recharge and see if that helps.
The other obvious possibilities are the batteries or the alternator or the control units for those.

Thanks roadking and bill,
I'll try to jump start the car and see if that works.
I got a refurbished alternator in the car while ago, but for 6 months i didnt drive the car and no one turned it on had to jump start it and since everytime i tried to kick the car over the interrior lights would start to go dim and then the car would start.
I think i may have to replace the batteries.
They were replaced a year and a half ago... :/
