Which fuse for remote turn on?

I am installing an amp with the factory head unit. Which fuse in the fuse box is the best to use for the remote turn-on to the amp? I don't have a meter, so I can't test for which circuit is swithced on when the ignition is on. I'm guessing the circuit for the instrument cluster would be the best bet. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I didn't see a fuse for radio in the owners manual. I was assuming it used the instrument cluster fuse. Is there a fuse for just the radio? Do you know which fuse it is?

I have no idea what fuse it is you can always just start pulling low amp fuses and see i think that generally the amp fuse for the radio and such are 15 but i could be wrong.

Not sure which truck you have but my '01 SCrew has a 5 amp fuse for the radio. Don't remember which slot it's in.
