However, if you are running a cheap 1000 watt amp and cranking it and/or have poor ventilation, the current draw may be accessive and contributing to the OP's problem.

Either way, that was ridiculous....IMHO
my amp actually turns on whenever there is a signal from the speakers. i can hear a faint buzz from the speakers when the car is off from time to time. it also happens when i open the trunk. i do agree that it is a bs excuse from the dealer though.
