Default amp power control

im running the amp input from the speaker level input and need a place to run the power control wire. any body know of acc fuses i can run to that will allow power only when the keys is on.?
i pulled the dash to look at the headunit closer and saw that there is a group of wires under the passenger side air vent. it is cliped to plastic and has a group of 6 wires or so...any body know wat this is?

is there any wire on the stereo harnes i could run the power control wire to?

Yes there is a wire in the radio harness, but we need to know what your driving to get you a color. Otherwise I normally use the wiper fuse in the fusebox. It will come on with the key. Only problem with this is you may notice a "pop" when the amp turns on. You wouldn't get this from an aftermarket headunit with a remote wire, but it's not a big deal.
