Default How Much Draw

I have a B52 amp that I am running for dc turn on and I am seeing about 15ma Draw when the bike is off. Everyone is telling me that it’s too much and that it’s an issue. I’m 🤔 my that if it’s off it shouldn’t be drawing anything but I’m so out of the audio loop... Thanks for reading!!!

clamp it and then pull the fuse on the amp (assume it has one) and see how it goes down.
