I've searched for about an hour online and have found no clear answers on where to find a suitable amp turn on wire. I don't have a multi-meter or anything. What wire did you guys use? and how did you get to it? I see some pink wires coming from behind the inside fuse box, but how do I get to them to tap them??? aggggh I'm gonna be depressed if I can't get this thing working tonight

U have aftermarket deck right?? I used electric antenna wire from back of head unit .......... automatically comes on when you turn deck on or off when you turn deck off.

If you want a seperate switch u can put that same wire into a switch and run that into the amp. to turn on and off when u want.

you can always run it to the IGN fuse. its not the best way to do it but it gets the job done. if you have a aftermarket deck find the wire that is either blue or labled REM or remote.

I know I need to get a bettter head unit but I like the stock look and the big buttons, I changed out the speakers put bass blockers in and just bought a kenwood KSC-sw1 powed sub, sup hopefully this will sond decent if I get it goin. I really don't wnat to have to pay someone to hook up the last wire

I'm a retard to all things electronic, how would I go about hooking up the wire to the fuse box? I just have a basic crimping set

Kind of a pain in the butt. However you can get a GOOD lightbulb and put two wires on it and put one wire on the body/ metal of the truck and put the other wire in the sockets of the radio plug (unplug the plug from the radio) and turn the key back and forth when you turn the key on a couple wires should light up. Any wire on that harness that makes the bulb light up when the key is on ONLY will be okay to tap into for your amp. Hope this helps PM me if you have anymore ?'s
