You got 2 choices that I know of
1. you can get it from your fuse box from the fuse that says "radio" just strip the wire and tie on to that.
2.Your ignition wire ------------- No better feeling then getting a remote start to work right!

i wouldn't use the fuse at the fuse box mainly because it looks so unprofessional. i always go to the ignition harness. on your car you can use the large gauge pink, orange, white, or brown wires. either one will do. the pink and white are true ignitions that stay hot during cranking and the orange and brown wires are accessories which have no power during crank. solder and tape your connection if you can dont use connectors like T-taps because they have a tendency to break strands off of the main wire and they look terrible.

Yeah that's what I did I got it from the ignition wire... now the problem is that it sounds like doodie....I used one of does things that converst from the spekers to rca outputs... I plug them to one of the small speakers from the rear of the truck...should I have pluged it ti the factory sub?....or should I just put a aftermarket head unit ?

What does it sound like? Do you get engine noise?

No it almost sounds like there is voices coming out of the subs like if I had the amp on highs not bass.... but all the amp settings are fine I got tired of it so I just got the dash kit and the wire harness to put in my flip out... but I am still trying to figure it out???

Sounds like the speaker you tapped in to is crossed over. You will need to either run to the factory sub wires or run to a speaker that gets full-range sound...like the door speakers. Also make sure the amp is set to LPF not HPF or Full.
