Stereo reception

[vince at performancecarstereo.com (Vince)]

Connect it to the ignition wire to the stereo.   You could also connect it
to the remote output wire from the deck, which would make it only be powered
when the stereo is on. In any case, your AM reception will be nill without
it powered up, which is a good way to see if it's working properly.

So, should I just connect this wire to the power wire which powers the
stereo?

John, you are right. That little black wire that runs parallel with the
antenna conductor is the power to the fuba antenna amplifier. You will
get poor reception without the amplifier working.
