Default Difference between these adapters?

And what power source should the "powered" version be hooked up to?

and

Now, I can read, and can tell one is supposed to be used WITH a factory amplified antenna, and one with a standard antenna. I have a 1988 Audi 90 with the standard two antennas. I have the front one hooked up to the "powered" antenna adapter I picked up from Circuit City. I just dont know where I am supposed to get power for the antenna adapter.

Default Ah ok. I just was thinking of using the amp-trigger wire on my stereo.

But I didnt know how much current it might draw, and I didnt want to overload a circuit.
