    Default Car wont start after 2 days please help !

    hey all , i have a Vs Commodore 96 model series 1 , i have a new battery less than 1 year old 620cca deep cycle battery and for some reason after 2 days of not using the car my battery is dead and needs to be jump started.

    I pulled out my trusty multimeter and checked my battery unplugged reported 12.5 volts
    tested my car off key out of ignition amperage through the battery reported 0.95a

    I unplugged the alternator wire and plug/socket tested battery drain still reported 0.95a

    I unplugged my positive cable to my amps (soundsystem) battery drain still reported 0.95a

    Cant seem to figure out what could be during 0.95a when the car is off any help would be great cant really afford to send it to a autoelectrician at the moment thanks in advance

    i have a aftermarket car audio system headunit speakers and two amps , the amps arent drawing anything extra as tested earlier , a 3 point immobilisor has been installed but before that was installed the problem was there before , by taking out the fuses you wreckon that could work ?
