[QUOTE="~Magick_Man~, post: 4564479, member: 560423"] Yeah you are definitely drawing too much power from the radio. I know my old pioneer could only put out 2-300 ma. Which is plenty to turn on the relays inside amplifiers, but not enough to actually power anything. The easiest way to do it would be to wire in a relay at the amp to turn on the led's. It isn't pretty but I threw together a diagram to show you what I mean.
