stereo/clock/electric problem

hey guys, i got a problem today in my S14. when i turn off my car and then turn it back on again (after any amount of time) the clock resets to 1:00 and the stereo turns off and goes to demo mode. earlier, i was driving and the stereo just turned itself off. i pressed the button and turned it back on, thought it was kinda weird.
as for electronics i have a Viper alarm and a JL audio sub that has been unplugged for 2 or 3 days.
any ideas of what could be wrong? the other electronics (dome light, headlights) still work fine when the key is out. this is kinda annoying and i dont want this is cause anything else to happen.
and my sub isnt working either right now (it might have nothing to do with this problem tho).
should i take it to the dealership? keep in mind i have an SR/heavily modified 240

any suggestions are appreciated

thanks,
Greg

someone said it might be a fuse. i dont have the kick panel next to the clutch that covers those fuses, if someone could take a pic of the fuse box cover so i know which fuse to look for, thatd be awesome. i dont know which is which. thanks

*i hope its just a fuse.

ill probably stop by the dealership on monday or tuesday to see if they can order the kick panel/fusebox cover and see if they can take a look at my problem. are the dealerships usually cool with SR20 swaps?

Autozone will check it for free, or you can do it with a multitester.
