Default 12v source

Anyone know of a good 12v source I can tap into in my trunk area? If not there one in the kick panel?

I figured I would have to run one back but was hoping I didn't What would be a good wire to tap in the front? I know someone will say the cig lighter but I looked at that and I couldn't even begin to get my hand behind there. Any wires in the kick panel?

on the bottom of the fuse box there are two blank fuse spots, one is constant power and the other is ACC power.

true - what do you plan to run off the source for constant? i wouldnt run something too long off the fuseblock tap b/c it just doesn't supply the power if you were to drag wires to the rear.

i plan to do a diy on a 12v plug install for the rear, essentially a hole drilled and positioned, not real hard.

but ive got wires back to the rear for sound/air

When I say constant I don't mean one that is still hot while the car is turned off. Just something that has power when the car is on.
