Amp Turn on Power
Need to connect the turn on wire to my new amp. I need it to turn on with the accessory. What wire do I tap so the amp will turn on with accessory? I have stock HU going to 4 ch amp powering door components and sub. No rears. Thanks

I have an 01 C5 and it has 2 ACC 12volt power supplies and a ground in the passenger footwell in the upper left hand corner. I had to dig they were taped together from the factory, one was an orange and the other was a pale green, if I remember right, and the ground was black. They are from the factory ready for you to use for a radar detector or other 12v acc need. Look through the C5 audio faq and there are pics that someone has put up with the same instructions.

Year of car would help 
To retain RAP:
If C5 look at post #9 of the C5 audio sticky thread for my info on RAP power with aftermarket amp. You shouldn't need the relay.
If C6 use white wire at pin B3 of the big plug behind the radio.
