12v Power

Is there a good spot under either front seat to tap a 12v constant signal? Any of the power seat wires that might work? I bought a Clarion MSS430 audio/video switcher and need a 12v constant signal for it. I will be running my DVD player and iPod to the switcher and running from the switcher to the NAVTV and aux. input for front audio/video from the DVD player or iPod and to a Savv rear screen with wireless headphones for audio/video from the DVD player or iPod. The Clarion comes with 3 remote modules that allow you control what is playing in each "zone". It is capable of 3 "zones" but for now I will only be using 2. The Clarion needs a 12volt constant, 12 volt switched and ground. I will get the 12 volt switched from the center cig plug. The Clarion then has 3 12 volt switches outputs to provide power to the DVD player, iPod and Savv screen. Need some help with a good 12 volt constant. Thanks

If it was me I would tap the fuse box for a constant signal.

Found them at Autozone. Need to do some cleaning up of wires but, got it installed and working. Not the greatest iPod solution but does allow excellent quality playback and I can play videos from the iPod as well on either the navi screen or Savv rear screen.
