lust run it somewhere in the fuse box, read the manual it'll say what it is, just find something that would turn on the same time as the radio then tap into that

There is no accessory wire connected to the radio in a 2003 Alero. Deep inside the radio cavity, to the left, you'll see a bundle of wires running to the key switch. The thick brown wire in the bundle is an accessory wire. You can tap this wire for your amp turn-on; be sure to use a fuse.
