Most new stereos have 4 amps. The fader is meant for a 2 amp system.
In an old 123/124/126 with the fader you have to bypass it completely and get all 8 speaker wires isolated and connected to the head unit's outputs.
It's not too hard to follow the wire pack from the radio to the fader to the speakers.
Or just run all new wires.
