Adding amp

Adding amp
I posted this in the tech section but maybe this is a better place as I have had no response
I installed an amp and subs but I'm looking for a + trigger for the amp in the trunk area that triggers when the ignition is turned on. I googled the wiring diagram for this car but came up with to many variances. I have a factory amp (which I'm keeping intact for the navigation system) and cd changer in the trunk which would be convenient for the connection.

OK I figured out, I will share for anyone who is interested.
I would draw a diagram but I don't have a scanner on this computer.
I left the existing system intact as I wanted utilize all of the navigation options. These connections were all made at the factory amp location, there was no need to run any cables to the front.
Red/White- positive trigger to new amp (ignition switched)
Left Rear Speaker:
White/Blue (+)
Yellow/Blue (-)
To Left Rear connection of the Line Output converter
Right Rear Speaker:
White/Green (+)
Yellow/Red (-)
To Right Rear connection of the Line Output converter
The line output converter then connects via RCA to the new amp. I also replaced all of the factory speakers. I simply leave the sub woofer setting on the navigation system to nil and control the new amp with the bass setting.
