Well just set it to any fuse that gets juice when the key is on. A lot of ppl redneck it but I'd look ur radio up n pull it out and redo it the right way...

The factory fuse box audio fuse?

It's not a problem.

The worst thing about it is it's usually physically difficult with the newer mini-type fuses. You probably won't be able to put the fuse box cover back on.

But electrically it's fine.
