Sounds like some serious audio equipment. I'm surprised they didn't try to sell you Optima yellow top's instead of the red's. How big are your caps ? Do you have room for "another" battery ?

You need to detirmine what drains it. You can do that by removing one fuse at the time and checking if it was drawing power with engine off. This is exactly what an audio shop is going to do. These problems are the most PITA to deal with, especially if it's your stock wiring system that does that. Voltmeeter+patience can solve that.

 

you basically just laid out the problem.
all the items you listed.
let the stereo shop handle it.
they will start disconnecting one thing at a time until there is no more drain.
only they know how the wiring for these components are.
more likely it is a simple mistake.
happened to me once or twice.
lets just hope that the battery will still be in good shape (fully charge) after its been discharged to often.
otherwise you might have to replace it.
