what is it that draws down the battery so quickly when not being used,if the car sits for more then 2 weeks there is not enough power to turn over the motor even with a new battery
 
Have you done a parasitic drain test to see if something is shorting?
Aftermarket alarm?
Aftermarket Head unit?
 
Seem normal. Mine does the same thing. 3wks on new battery still die.. Stock radio, does have aftermarket security alarm. I park inside the garage and kept the alarm disarmed.. Now i leave the battery tender on it..
 
Common possibilities for battery drain are the "brake lights constantly on" - check grommet on brake pedal - would probably drain in <24 hrs though.
Secondly, a faulty speaker amp relay (in front compartment) which I experienced recently. Apparently very common.
