Need help installing a powered sub in a 10' Ford Escape

Ok, having trouble finding a switched power for the sub. Need a wiring diagram. The wiring in this sucker is tight! Hard to get at behind stereo. I'm trying to connect a LOC to run RCA's to the rear. Got the power run, that was the easiest part, but getting the switched power figured out and then the tight speaker connections made is going to be fun fun.

So you need a remote turn on? Get an add-a-fuse and tap into an acc at the fuse box.

Thanks, went out and bought and installed it yesterday. Great idea. Now I still need a wiring diagram for this vehicle. Gotta figure out where to connect the LOC.

Why not tap into the rear speaker leads? Always the easiest.

The wiring is in the rear doors, not the rear deck or I would. Would be easy if that were the case. The doors and getting wiring across the carpet is a pain.
