    Hi everyone,
    Congratulations on a very helpful site,

    Im about to fit this amp to my 07 Prius
    ***.orioncaraudio.com/Products/Products.aspx?ProductID=508
    ​
    (replace *** with www)

    Its the base model prius Without the JBL system.
    ive done this on other cars but i have some small questions for the prius​
    .

    Connecting the +12v and Ground arnt a problem
    But where would you recommend i tap the Switched +12v Trigger wire to?

    and where should i tap the audio signal from to feed the amp?

    A lot of people, myself included, have tapped the Accessory power from the port located in the center console. If you open up the console, and remove the mat at the bottom, you will gain access to the screws that hold the console in place, and you should be able to tap the port easily.
