Do you mean a General Lee? That's a pretty big radio for the vehicle. I'm not sure that you can use the ligher plug, as it will draw quite a bit of power. You'll be better off running wires right from the battery. I'd use 10 or 8 gauge wire, then you solder that radio wire to it, inside the passengar cabin. ----------

If it's long enough to reach just run it straight to your battery. Look for a rubber grommet on your firewall, poke a hole through it and feed the wires through it. If it's not long enough to reach do what this_is_nascar suggested.

Yeppers, if you can run your wires (hot,red & ground, black) directly to the battery you'll be a lot better off - even if you have to use a 'jumper' wire to get there.. And don't forget to fuse the hot (red) wire about 3" to 6" from the battery.. Be really safe and put a fuse on the ground (black) wire also.. Remember DO NOT use hot and ground wires thinner than the original power wires that's connected to the radio...
