Hi all,

There is much info about this in the archives, but I couldn't really nail
down what I was looking for.  I do apologize if this is a rehash...

I just bought an older Kenwood powered subwoofer for my '85 Wolfsburg
Westfalia, and it does not have the signal-sensing power switch like the
newer ones do.  I'm wondering how to power it without draining the battery.

I like the setup of having the radio constantly powered so I don't want to
splice into the door buzzer or anything like that.

I did find some interesting stuff about wiring an amp and/or the head unit
through an extra defrost switch in the dash, and I do have one lying
around...Does this work well?

I have a new Pioneer head unit; if it has a powered antenna wire (I'm not
sure if it does,) can I use that?

I truly appreciate any thoughts, suggestions, ideas, tips, pointers, etc,
