I'd start with getting your battery tested.

Sounds like the amp might be draining the batt/batt is dying.
If you have a circuit breaker by the batt you could trip it so the batt is not connected while parked, but the proper solution would be to unplug your batt, put a dmm inlie with the batt circuit and measure the current draw at rest. Might need the amp repaired.
