Since it all started at your girlfriends.. I'd stay away from her.
Just kidding of course.
I would start with checking all your body grounds..
it sounds like the system could be back feeding looking for a ground. Thus killing the battery.
If you did this installed yourself.. I would take it to an audio shop and get it fixed..
