Default Dead Battery

Can someone tell me how to test for amperage being drawn from my batery when the vehicle is off? I am thinking to disconnect the positive battery and place an ampmeter between the battery and the positive cable to see the draw. Would this be correct?

I figured if this worked I could go around to each item drawing power, disconnect the fuse and see how much it does draw.

I have a beefed up audio video system that I am sure draws power for memory. Also an alarm system, the vehicles computer, etc... The battery is pretty new and have not had an issue with it after changing it. But due to me being away and no use for a week + couple days the battery was fully dead. I'm hoping it's my audio system that way I can just pull the fuses when the truck sits for a while.
