Why do you have power to the radio CD player but it still does not work in a Infiniti J30 and how do you fix it?

(my stereo is not stock)
The Bose system works with amps outside the radio/receiver itself. There are amps on each speaker in the car. I bought three different new radios off Ebay. They were all garbage in the end...(used too).
What I did?
I bought a Kenwood double DIN player. Here's a link:

I bought the 501. It was a great move. It gets rid of the tape. It has RCA hookups for a woofer, plays MP3's and accepts a 8 gig USB card for music, (generally a little iPod). Sound quality is great. The Kenwood is really nice, but really any stereo will work. Have it be around 50-55 watts per channel. Don't go less than that.
Here's the technical part:
You can still use the Bose speakers, but you need to disconnect and bypass the speaker preamp. Remove the amps. You can sell them on Ebay. Don't cut any wires. Run new wires from the stereo area. Awl a hole thru the boot that houses wires feeding the door's electrical wires. Use a decent gage wire with good insulation covering. Run the speaker cable thru there. You will have to remove the door leather panel liner to get the new wire down to the speaker area. For the rear speakers: run them under the running boards on the driver side to the back. Label the wires to which speaker they will hook up to. You will want to crimp new clamps onto the speaker wires...ones that match the tabs on the speaker.
Use the J30 guide, the one in the trunk, to figure out the electrical diagram wires. Check using a voltmeter to find the hot wires, ground wires and accessory wires. You will not use any of the original speaker wires. An adapter for the antenna will be needed. I bought one on Ebay that was real crap. Goto an audio store. They should have one in stock. (Nissan uses two car antennas. The adapter will combine them into the standard universal plug).
Now you have created a much lower maintenance audio system without losing any sound quality.

How do you repair the stereo on a 2001 Stratus if it does not light up and CDs do not play but the fuses are okay?
Pull the radio and make sure all the connectors are still connected to the radio, second try to determine which leads are power and ground and measure voltage on the leads coming to the radio, if you have voltage and it still will not power up after reconnecting, then consider replacing the unit if no voltage exist follow that backward toward the power source. Make sure key is in the correct position to have power available at the radio.
Why do ac radios still have a soft hum after being turned off?
When you turn the radio off, you interrupt the AC supply from the wall outlet to the radio's power supply. If there's energy stored in the power supply components at the time, then the radio continues to operate on that energy. An AC power supply typically includes large-value electrolytic capacitors, which continue to power the radio for a short time until they're discharged.

If there is no power getting to your 94 VW Jetta radio how do you fix it?
Check the fuse in the fuse panel. Also look and see if there is an inline fuse blown. I already checked the fuse panel and the fuse on the back of the radio. I don't know what the problem could be. The radio is not burnt because I replaced it and still no power. There may be another inline fuse somewhere between the fuse panel and the radio. Do you have power at the radio? I assume you do not. I would check, with a multimeter, where the radio power cable is connected at the fuse panel and see if you actually have power. If you do then you know that somewhere between that point and the radio you have a problem. As a last resort you could just run a new power cable to the radio from the fuse panel. Be sure to install an inline fuse if you do this. How do I run a new power cable to the radio from the fuse panel and install an in-line fuse?
