Default Switched power source for amp turn-on?

Anyone know a convenient location to tap off of for a switched +12V source for an amp remote turn-on wire? I've put a sub and amp under the rear seat and need to get a remote wire to it.

Thanks,
Rob

I answered my own question. Under the driver's seat is a wiring harness that runs to the center console. This harness appears to have three power wires and two grounds (my assessment). The power wires appear to run to the center console front power receptacle, the power receptacle in the top of the armrest, and the power receptacle in the rear of the console for the rear seat passengers. Two are switched, the one for the armrest is always on. I tapped off the light blue/pink one, which I believe runs to the rear power receptacle. Though I'm not a fan of 'vampire clip' connectors, since the only risk is disabling the rear receptacle which I seldom use I went that route.
