DO NOT go putting wires into your fuse box, this could cause problems in the future, if you have a power Antenna wire on the back for your radio, [Blue in Most cars, but refer to your cars manual.] Splice the REMOTE wire from your amp into the Power antenna wire OR if you dont have a power antenna wire. if your car has RAP [Retained accessory power, or your radio doesnt turn off until you open a door] its a good idea to use a 12V Accessory wire. any more questions just email me.
Note : Many head units will only energize the power antenna wire when the radio is on and then deenergize it when you switch to cd. So your best bet is to just go with the accessory wire method described above.

Can you hook up an mp to a stock stereo?
Yes you can. First, determine which type of signal input is required by your amplifier, RCA inputs or (+/-) speaker wire. If it's only RCA inputs and your stock stereo does not have RCA outputs in the rear of the unit, then you will have to convert each speaker wire pairs to RCA with a converter, then go to your amplifier. If your stock unit does have RCA out, then just use an RCA cable and connect the signal from your stereo to your amplifier. Then simply follow the instructions from your amplifier to connect your speakers depending on if they are 2ohm, 4ohm, or 8ohm, etc. PS - make sure you properly ground your amplifier to either chassis or directly to the negative on your battery. If you create any large amounts of resistance or have extra wire hanging around, you will get ground loops and EMI problems and hear engine noise from your speakers as you accelerate. Good Luck

Why does my 1992 BMW 525i now have to be jumped every time i start it after removing the stereo. alt and battery have both been tested and are good.?
because the stock stereo sends a signal to the stock factory amplifier, removing the stereo has probably left the amplifier in a constant on mode therefore it is always drawing power. you can check this once you find the amp . on the wagon it is located in the bck drivers corner behind where the cd changer goes.
