[Shotimes] power antenna question

[Bill Murray]

The amperage on that lead is very low.  Use a relay that is triggered by
the 12+ out.  When I first got into car stereos, I had too many things
running directly on the remote turn on lead, and I fried it.  Good thing
the warrantee still covered it at the time.

Subject: [Shotimes] power antenna question

I am installing a JVC head unit in the 92.  This unit provides just one
12vV+ output line for controlling accessories.  Methinks I need two:

1.  12V+ to power antenna module to control automatic antenna up/down.

2.  12V+ to main JBL amp in trunk, to turn it on.

I suppose I could tie the amp and antenna together to the single line
from
the radio, but that seems like questionable practice.  Another option
would
be to use the radio's output line for the amp, and put in a manual
switch
for the antenna.  Kinda Gen1, though.  ;-)   Any suggestions?
