Switched Power Access in Trunk Area

I mounted a JL Audio mono amplifier onto the rear firewall to power Kicker 6 3/4" subwoofers I installed in the front kick panels. The amp currently triggers on when it senses an audio signal from the speaker-level inputs, however, the OEM head unit must be turned up fairly loud before the amplifier powers up. I want to wire the amplifier to a switched power source so that it automatically powers up whenever the car is in the accessory or operating modes. While I could run a power line from the fuse box, I'd prefer a to find a switched power source in the trunk area I could tap into to trigger the amplifier. Does anyone know of a switched power lead in the trunk area, and if so, the location and coloring of that wire?
 
There should be the power audio 42pin connector for the boot mounted amp, whether it was fitted or not...that will be on the right hand side bulkhead looking into the boot behind the cover..

TIS will give you the wiring diagram / colour codes..

That will have a power on feed..
