Depends on your definition of "power".

I mean't line feed power. Sorry.

You should be powering the amplifier straight from the car's battery as I said in my first reply.

Panic ye not - it is.

The only problem is that your portable minidisc doesn't have a remote amp-turn-on lead that you can use to activate your car amplifier.

Well, I had a bit of an idea on that score. My car mobile phone kit has a lead to activate for 'antenna motor control' which is used to (and I quote) "control different devices on and off." So, I tried the wiring, put the phone in it's cradle and I did hear a slight sound from the speakers as the amp switched. Plugged in the minidisc but nothing - starting at lowest volume and working up. I'm obvioulsy going to have to go and have a chat with someone who can look at it all - and price me up on some new kit.
