how do you go about locating the wire/s any tips? do you trace from the fuse box or something

Look here for some ideas .... http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-...ml#post1640143 also scroll to post#9 on the link and theres a pic with an IGNITION ON source arrowed (green arrow) and that's the one that I used for my dual battery controller. A regular automotive female spade connector fits perfectly.

PS: The "ADD-A-FUSE" thingys are now available in NARVA blister packs at your favorite automotive supplier

I'm not trying to be rude... But if you are having trouble locating something as simple as the power feed for the stereo, can I suggest you take the car somewhere and have it done/installed for you...
You are dealing with a bucket load of current and things need to be absolutely spot on/reliable.....
I'm just sayin.....
