rewiring a stereo

[jlagnese at massed.net (John S. Lagnese)]

I run a trigger wire to a relay from the "key in wire" in the ignition. This
is for the red power wire. This way the radio goes off when the key is
removed. This relay gets power from the battery. The yellow, constant power,
doesn't need to be a heavy gauge wire That can be almost constant source
like the lighter.

> My housemate let me use her deck so I've been working on rewiring the
whole stereo setup. Everything was such a mess it was easier to just do new
wiring than to try and figure out the old. I'm supposed to run the yellow
wire to a "live fuse terminal (bypassing the ignition." I run a red wire "to
an accessory fuse terminal." So, which fuse terminals exactly do I use? Is
there an easier way? I'd rather not wire into the fuse box and also, I like
my radio to turn off when the car turns off, instead of staying on. I was
thinking of running the yellow wire to the battery and the red to the
ignition, sound doable? It's current configuration has the yellow and red
wire join together into 1 that goes who knows where. I get power to the deck
but it won't turn on, it's like it doesn't realize the car is on.
