Default Need help with electrical issues.

I have a dc2 integra and the battery keeps getting drained somehow. I bought brand new starter, alternator, and battery + new terminals. Checked the fuses and they all work and i still dont know what the problem is. Im about to give up on this car but i dont want to! Please help me!

Do you have any sound system components? Its probably a key off drain caused by a loose wire somewhere in the car. Happened to me when the negative terminal of my amp was loose.

I have a small amp in the back but i took off the wire for it. Thought that was draining the battery but it wasnt it.

hook a volt meter to it while it's running, and see if the voltage is dropping. alternator may be fine but the harness could be killing it. also could just be a wire grounding out somewhere.

you have a draw somewhere. i had a similar issue in my integra, my CD player wasn't wired correctly and kept drawing power, even when off.
