Did this for my GPS so it turns on/off with ignition. Just take a light bulb tester to the fuse panel (I used the one under the hood) and find a few circuits that come on with the ignition. Look them up in the manual, and choose the one that is for the highest power accessory (eg a motorized seat, window motor etc.) Take a male terminal split in half so it fits into the fuse socket next to/with the truck fuse, solder on a wire and run it to an external fuse holder and then on to your amp. 15 minute job. Good luck!
