where to tap wires for +12v, IGN, Illuination, and ground

Hi, I am going to be installing some aftermarket components which require the following wires:

1. constant positive 12v
2. Ignition
3. Illumination
4. Ground

Where would the best / easiest place to get these wires? In the back of the radio?

Where are you installing your aftermarket parts?

1. Fuse slot #32 of driver's side fuse box with an "add-a-circuit" from AutoZone OR tap into one of the cig adaptors.
4. Factory ground bolt behind the liner in the trunk.

Back of the radio is a good spot, and this was what I used. However, it makes sense if your project includes removing the radio, because removal is difficult

Probably the middle connector on the back of the radio with 20pins. The book lists the following:
Yellow/Green-Radio switched power
Yellow/red-ACC (main stereo power supply)
Green/Red-Radio remote switch
Red/Black-Lights-on signal
White-Constant power
