Ok well now I understand how a relay works but now I think Im even more
confused on how to make this work. If you had it setup so that when the door
opens it turns the relay off wouldnt the relay turn back on once the door is
closed again?
What I want to do is still have power for like 10 minutes or until a door is
opened but once the door is opened and I get out I do not want the stereo to
turn back on when the door is closed again. If I understand some of the
suggestions so far (which I probably dont) then once the door is shut again
the stereo would turn back on until the timer (dome light connection or
whatever) turned it off. Am I missing something?

Well I'll make an attempt and answering what a relay is...
It's a Light switch, instead of turning it on(Light a regular switch) you
stimulate it with voltage (from whatever) this opens a channel up from the
incoming power source to the out puts, when the Stimulation end, the switch
turns back off... I hope this helps, PS any Napa Store can get em (Should
keep em in stock) I'll get ya the Part # tomorrow.. and I'll tell ya how to
wire em bastards DID NOT include a diagram... but I got one around here
somwhere...)
