Amp wiring question with stock HU

I have read in previous treads that the "blue" wire that tells the amp to turn on should be spliced to the "power antenna" pin #13. Others have said to splice it to pin #16, the accessory wire. Others have said to wire it the a fuse in the fuse box but did not indicate which one. I have also read that the power antenna line causes a "pop" in the speakers when the amp it turned on.

Any advice would be greatly appriciated. I certainly do not want the "pop" everytime I turn the car on. Does anyone know what the best way to wire an amp to a stock HU?

Left side of the car in boot cubby you will find a white wire going up towards the roof tap in here if your amp is in the boot

Thanks

mikeythemini,
That worked and there's no obnoxious "pop" when the amp goes on. Sweet. Thanks for that extremely valuable piece of info. You saved me from having to rip open the interior bits to follow the wire to the back. much apprieciated. This was my first complete install and with all the info available in this forum and especially from you, my installl went smoothly.

Thanks a bunch! You have time and time again proved that you are an invaluable member of this forum. your rep has increased.... again
