Ok , heres whats happening .... yesterday , me and my fiancee took my Grand Prix to the store , left the house .. car started & ran fine as usual .. made one stop , re-started fine , drove a few more miles , shut off , gone approx. 15 mins , came back .. car would'nt start .. and the security system started going off , even though i had'nt armed it .... also heard a relay ticking under the hood .. initially car was'nt accesable to attemp jump start , however when we could get cables to it . it did start . The car is a 2000 GT , 3.8L , Stock ... has premium sound system , keyless entry , approx 97.000 mi. and has had good maintenance... i did recently , relocate the amp , thats factory mounted in underbelly of the rear package tray , to allow for a change in my rear speakerbox , amp is the one thats supplied with Bose premium sound system, just wondering if this could've caused a draw on my battery , which is about 2 years old , and the exact unit specified for the car .. I did make sure the amp was still affixed to the metal wall just adjacent to the drivers side rear inner fender well , this is the only recent changes to the car , Im probably putting the cart B4 the horse here somewhat , as im taking the battery , still under warranty , back to point of purchase today to get it tested, but any and all suggestions of OTHER possible avenues to check would be appreciated ... :th_scratchhead: thanks ...

please go back to the standard text look, that is so hard to read. Sounds to me like the battery was low either due to being bad, or from having something drawing juice from it. You could also have a bad alternator which is not charging the battery. I think the alarm went off, and other odd things due to the battery being low. Just a guess though.
