Hey, guys, I'm about to install my amp and sub into the back of my 1999 LS 400. I was trying to figure out where most people run their power-on (usually a small blue) wire to the amp? I knowtheres the stock amps back there and I could probably tap something out of that, but I've searched and searched and can't find anything. I'd like to avoid going to the front if possible only because I HATE fooling with wiring and want to make it as simple as possible. I don't really want to dig into the fuse box if I don't have to.

I was going to tap into the power antenna wire, but remembered that the 98+ models don't have one!

After wiring my SC probably 3 times over with car audio, I want this to be simple. I'm keeping everything stock, just want to add a sub in the trunk.

Wiring my old 740iL for the subs was cake since the battery was in the trunk!!!

For the sub, I was just going to pull the stock one out and use a Line-Out converter from those speaker wires and just plug it into the amp from there, from what I've read it seems like thats what most people do.

Any other tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!

Figured i would revive this. Same questions. Line convertor off the sub wires and run a power wire from the battery and remote turn on from the amp or what? Also, where is the amp located?
