Car starting issue... crank once then no power

Anybody have a clue what the hell is going on? Just recently my car has started just randomly dying on me. I havn't done any mods recently so I wouldn't just resort to taking whatever out. I did think it's my Amp and Sub but I won't be able to tell until it happens again since I just took it out tonight.

What happens is car will have power, doors power unlock with the key less entry. I put the key in the ignition and all power still, headlights turn on yada yada. Turn to the key to crank it and it clicks once and all power is gone. No anything, no power door locks no headlights or warning lights. The only thing I see with power would be my door adjar light would come on if the doors are open. Car will stay dead until jump started.

Once it's jump started or clutch is poped the car is fine for a few days until it does it again.

I tested the battery at my work and it came out fine. Any guesses?


Mods - electrical:
Greddy Profec 2b
Works Flash
15"+ 1000w 2channel Amp (taken out now)
Alpine deck
