I was switching the Hideaway with the speaker wires and now after adding the amp, it doesn't switch it on. I figure ok, I will run the switch wire instead. Ran the switch wire to the fuse box. After trying a handful of fuses, I honestly do not think that any of the fuses are switched. Now I don't know what to do. Run it to the cigarette lighter? After I get it hooked up, I am still not sure it will still work.. Any help is appreciated.

I have the same setup you have and when I installed my JBL's in the front doors, along with the Peel & Seal, All I can say is... WOW! What a difference! I swear my Hideaway kicks even harder and tighter now too. I'm thinking since it's not vibrating the doors, it's hits my seat like it hadn't before. I'll probably us the left over in the rear doors also, even tho I don't plan on replacing those speakers.
