Aftermarket stereo issues?

I bought and installed an aftermarket stereo for my '96 Ford Ranger. After I installed it I realized that the fuse in my truck is 7.5 amps while the stereo seems to need 10 amps. Is there anyway I can easily raise the power or do I need to wire the stereo directly to the battery?

It's okay to up the 7.5A fuse to 10A fuse, but not any higher. The current wiring will handle it okay as long as it is not over the 10A.

  • Ford approved aftermarket parts? I have a 2014 Mustang V6 and was thinking of installing some aftermarket parts (ie: BBK Throttle Body, Airaid CAI, Roush axle back exhaust, tune, etc). But, the dealership said the parts would need to be Ford approved, in order to not void the warranties. He suggested Ford Racing, but they don't make many parts for a V6. All I could find was an axle back exhaust. So, my question is, are there any other Ford approved aftermarket parts for a 14 V6?
