List of different sources to be tapped for Remote Turn-on wire?

I'm trying to find a source in my CRX so i can hear what it's like with a 12 in the car. It would help me to decide if i have enough power or not.

btw, it's a stock headunit. I would love to find a source in the rear hatch somewhere.

Is there a power antennea output on the headunit?

just to the radio fuse is fine

Just found out that using the fuse is the worse of all.. induces noise into the audio components...

I managed to splice into the Antenna wire. Thanks for the help

If it's only temporary you could link the remote and +12V on the amp. When i got my amp and sub i linked them with a piece of wire and disconnected the wire when i wasn't using it to avoid killing my battery - just another idea.

Don't tell anyone but I'm a lazy bastard that's too lazy to run my remote wire so I hooked it to my taillight. Turn on the parking lights, there's my power, turn them off and there goes my power. :D

al you need to do is set a custom switch somewhere in the interior and hook the remote on one side and hook the other side to a constant 12v source, no noise there.

Can't go wrong with Alpine. I'm in love with my headunit it make my infinity 6.5 sound like subs. I don't get the big vibrations but I can feel it in the drivers seat.
