rewiring a stereo

[ats at longcoeur.com (Patrick Bureau)]

Talk about over engineering, just find a fuse that is ignition triggers and
run a wire from it to the radio, what I did.. Take about 30 secs to find one
with 12v light tester.

->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.
