So I got off work at 10pm, started my car and it started without any problems. I drove to my cousins house and waited for him to get home so we could cruise to the bar. Left my car on AC with my music playing low for 15-20 min. Tried to start my car and all I hear is some rapid clicking, like the spark plugs are clicking but thats it. No sounds of it trying to start up, just the rapid clicking when I push the start button. At first the radio and all the electrical components would stay on, but now when I try and start the car only the dash light come on and I can't even role up my window. I tried jumping it off a friends lexus and off my cousins truck. But still just the same clicking. I am powering a 1000 watt amp but I have never had a problem before. I un hooked the amp then tried jumping it again. But still nothing. I un hooked the battery completely trying to see if it would re set the CPU, but still wouldn't start. so has any one else had this problem? The car has less than 25,000 miles on it. Can my battery be so dead that it wont take a jump, or could it be the starter? Tomorrow I will try and un hook my battery and hook up my dads truck battery to see if that's the problem. But wouldn't it of started with the jumper cables attached then died after I took them off if the battery was bad?

Def bad battery. The OEM ones suck. I replaced mine with an Optima Red Top. Others have had the same issues.

Take your battery to get tested. Mine was only 30 months old, my volts were good but my amps were 124! OEM batteries do suck.

Thanks for all the quick responses. I just ordered a kinetic khc1800. Even if the battery is under warranty I am pretty sure that was voided the second I ran my amp to it. All they will say is the after market amp drained it. I was planning on getting a better battery for my system. I just haft to do it a little sooner than I planned.

So today after I got off work I went by my cousins where my car was. I was going to un hook my dads truck battery and hook it up to my car just so I could roll my window up. Then I found the. Jumpers in my dads truck, I hooked them up and my car started. Now its been firing up no problem. I guess the cables I used last night where bad. I still don't trust the battery, so I ordered the kinetik battery and un hooked my amp. Hopefully it holds out till my new battery gets hear.

Well, at least you wont have that problem with the Kinetik. The make a solid selection of batteries. I've had no problems with mine, and you know what I'm powering.
