standard arials just have the main cable to the head unit. amplified items need a live feed too. for some reason the live cable is mostly always black. lots of people then assume that this is an earth, but of course you ariel is always earthed, or shoould be to the body work where it is attached.

best off using a switched live from your head unit that way it eliminates possibility of any trickle
