When I bought mine, my stereo didn't work either (stock stereo) so I just hit it and it started working fine. That is, until I turned it off and tried to turn it back on again. No juice, so i hit it again, and poof. Like magic it started again. The stock stereos are Pioneer.

My car came with the Pioneer system with Hedrest speakers, 2 door speaker, 2 woofers behind the seats and I guess 2 amps..
You sure you took power from the right source?
I dont know, the flickering on and off would seem like a
loose connection. Double check all your connections, if you
used butt conectors, which I hope you did use, I would
replace the power one, maybe its not quite on there right.

butt conectors work well when you have a good tool
to crimp them and know how to use it. I think alot of
people dont know how to properly use butt connectors,
I used to think they were **** too when I first tried using them
and didnt know how to properly use them
I use marine grade connectors and shrink tubing

GM weatherpack connectors work great too, i used them on all 3 amps and the door speakers on my leaky vert, you need a really good crimping tool though. If it is turning on and off, could it be a relay?
