The easiest and safest place that i have found is to run the wire to your fuse box, find the fuse that is used for your radio (or another electrical component that only comes on when your key is in the ignition).  strip the wire, wrap it in a figure-8 around the 2 prongs sticking out of the fuse, and push the fuse back into its rightful slot.  put the fuse cover back for a nice, clean look.  I assure you that this method will work and be safe (ie-not start any fires or drain your battery).  I know because my amp has had this set-up for the last 3 years.  Just make sure all of your grounds are "straight" (most peoples stereo problems stem from a bad ground) and you'll be golden.  good luck!
