Radio wiring question...

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

There are 2 wires. One supplys power to the amp and the other is a low 
current line that supplies the memory for settings. Look at the fuses 
inline. The power line goes to a switched 12v and the other to constant 
power. I added a switch between the constant 12v and the power line. This 
way I can turn the radiop on when the car is off...
