I have a 96 Audi a4. The fuse box has clip in fuses and I have no idea where they are coming from. Also I can't get my radio out but I don't think that matters because I have a factory radio. Does any one have any idea's on different options that I have or how I can find out which fuse I can use. Also can I splice the wire leading to that certain fuse and just hook it up to the wire and not directly to the fuse. Any feed back would be great. Thank you

Why are you wanting to hard wire a wire into the fuse box ? For what ? Please clarify your request so we can better help you.

I'm sorry I was a bit unclear. I am hooking up a bazooka amp and subs to my audi and I need a place to put the remote wire. I know you can run that wire strait to the fuse box but I wanted to know if there is any where else. Also I have the factory radio so I don't think I can hook it up there. Also if anyone knows the fuse box diagram I would appreciate that too so I could know what fuse to put the remote wire in. Thank you for all your help

All you need is an ignition wire from any of the fuses or the igntion harness. The wire will test 12 volts when the key is in the ON and RUN positions but 0 in the start and OFF positions. Run this wire back to the bazooka amp as your remote turn on lead wire.
