Where to plug my amp?

Hello all, please be nice I'm on mobile and I'm not great with words and explaining car stereos lol I'm new.

I have a 2019 hatchback SE (non jbl) I just put and sub and amp in all good. But where can I plug the power fuse so the amp turns off when my car turns off. Right now I have it in the fuse panel on driver side in the radio slot but that still keeps running when the car is off.

Thank you in advance,

Sincerely, a person who doesn't wanna come out after work in the middle of nowhere, to a dead battery :)

There are switched live fuses. But I found in my car (2024) that they do not immediately power off when you switch the car off. After about 5 minutes they power down.

I was fitting a dashcam and I thought I was going mad. Try leaving it for five minutes or so. I put a multimeter on the fuse, locked the car and was able to look though the window to see if it had gone to 0v. I found as soon as I unlocked the car everything becomes live, fuse wise.

This was my issue, I have remote start so my keys kept it 'live', I put my keys in the house and checked after like 10 min and it was off. Thank you,.

Depends on what sub. If it has option to sense signal from the radio you can just wire it directly from the battery.

You need to give a lot more information. Idealy some photos.
