I ran mine to a switch on 12V ignition power (the power outlet on the center console to be exact). That way I could turn the amp off when I didnt want the sub on.

how did you connect it?

i connected it to the ciagarette lighter the red cable, but my amp isnt turning in why is that? theres definitely power coming from the battery but its not turning on.

theres a white wire coming from the 44 pin radio plug to the stock amp, thats the factory amp turn on. I usually use that. It keeps the amp on through RAP, I think the cig lighter turns off with the key.

i HAve a non ba system, does that apply to me!? I still havent found a a turn on wire, so # 44 will work for me?

My bad, only the BA systems have the turn on wire in the radio plug. Ur just gonna have to go with the cig lighter. There are also a few accessory wires in the fuse block under the hood, but that might be too much work.
