You mentioned that the battery dies after a few days. Do you still have the original alarm siren in the car? That may be the source of your power drain. You can test this by pulling fuse #9 in the engine compartment fuse box near the brake master cylinder.
If the battery doesn't die in a few days, then the alarm is bad and needs to be removed or replaced.

The alarm siren is located under the wiper cowl. It's not a hard job to remove it.
Here's a link to a post I did with pictures and descriptions. If you do take the wiper cowl off, you should clean the drains while you're in there. That's also in my post.
