Bill, I installed a Sony radio yesterday, too. Where's the problem ? They just use two wires to make it simpler to connect the amplifier and the power antenna to the unit. The Antenna normaly has a relay inside that draws about 100mA, therefore use the 300mA for that to make sure it won't blow. The amplifier normaly draws only a few mA, the 100mA output should be ok here, but it could also be connected to the same wire as the antenna. I guess your problem is, that you don't know what voltage and current means. 100mA or 300mA simply means this is the maximum current you are allowed to draw from this output ! They both deliver a +12V signal when the radio is turned on. The +12V will be on that wire, the current that flows depends of the resistance of the unit that you attach to the wire and ground. That's science, first grade, first week. You can compare voltage with pressure and current with the water that comes out of your tap. Tap fully open is short circuit, tap closed is no current at all. The tap is your resistor. Hope this helps a little bit Elvis > Hello, > > I currently have most of my DMC's interior removed to dye the faded > vinyl and replace my bad Craig radio. > > I purchased a nice Sony head unit with a 100% invisible face plate. > It has two wires for the power antenna: .1 amp and .3 amp wires. > > I can't find anything in the archive or manuals that lists the proper > amperage.
