Default Parasitic drain?

Ok guys I've got a 97 hatch and we'll it dies everytime its turned off
so I did the test for it drawing power while turned off
The fuse for interior lights and the one for the radio were drawing 4 amps>so I just took them out
pulled out every other fuse and all the relays I could find (pretty shure I could have missed 1 or 2)
Still drawing 2amps when off

Guess.. I'll check the grounds tomorrow, any ideas or advice would be great

also there's a aftermarket alarm when I plug it in it draws 8 amps (but I left it unplugged)
