Your Ignition harness is the best spot. There is a huge white and black wire there with 12v, just tap into that.

:confused: WHAT???????? how does that work? speakers don't need power, they need the feed from the radio...well its sort of power, but the brake lights have no sounds. :confused:

You know the rear speaker wires do come out from around the taillights so he probably tapped into the wires already there.

The big white wire under there is a constant 12v i belive.
I think the yellow one is a switched 12v. I'm pretty sure i hooked mine to the yellow one.
