Pos and negative to were ever you want to know the voltage. I would wire the blue (assuming its turn on) to the Acc lead in your vehicle if you can.

acc lead?

also, im not sure where would be the best place. i have two batteries in the back. isnt the voltage distributed equally since its wired parallel?

Acc lead = active when the ignition is switched to on!

As for where to wire, I would wire at the distribution block that the amplifiers are connected to. Although it usually doesn't make that much of a difference, every connection you make adds a point of resistance. Every point of resistance can contribute to a slight voltage drop.

gotcha! i think thats red bejhind my hu but ill make sure. is it worth buying wire to run it to the back (my batts are in the very very back of an expedition)? or just wire it at the front

Just do it in the front. I would be surprised if the voltage ever changed more than 1/100th of a volt throughout different points in the car.
