Do you have an aftermarket immobiliser fitted? - they can drag a lot of power when playing up. Also your head unit and amp - are they chewing power when off?
If you have a multimeter you can do some detective work, set it to amps and then pull each fuse (under the steering wheel) out in turn and put the multimeter leads in the fuse hole so that any power going thru that circuit will show on the multimeter. Once you locate which circuit the has the battery drain you can then figure it out exactly.
New multimeters are less than $15 and are very handy.
Good Luck.
