Testing all systems since new battery installed in trunk. Power really low when took for drive last night. Charged both batteries overnight. Hooked up ammeter on both batteries (with fuses connecting them removed). Front battery showed phantom draw of .79 amps (target <50 milliamperes). Rear battery initially showed no phantom draw, but with further checks it was showing .64 to .96 milliamperes. Disconnecting crutchfield amps pulled phantom draw to 0. Could both amps be bad? Front Battery test as illustrated in photos. Battery was from 2014 so perhaps it’s time.
