From the shop manual:

You can connect into the wire from the chart on the right that best fits your need.

What're you trying to do?

so what im trying to do is wire a Japanese sound box to the ignition so when I put the ket into the on position it will trigger the sound box to play I needed to know which wire was what so I dont wire to accessory power in which the sound box would be playing 24/7 as long at the car was running

From looking at the chart I posted, it looks like there isn't a wire that stops getting current after the car is started. You might have to wire some sort of circuit to make it only play once - maybe figure out a way to have it only provide current for the length of time the box plays?
A quick google search came up with this video:
Looks like a pretty simple circuit. I didn't watch the video, but if you look up that kind of circuit online you might find other better instructions on how to create this.

Alternatively if analog circuits aren't your thing, an Arduino or something would do it but I am not very familiar with that stuff.
