Default Amp turn-on wire

My car is 2006 Gs300 Non ML, nonNav with after market system installed. I am currently using the cigarette fuse to turn on my JL amp but I don't like it at all. It turns on my amp when the car started (I can hear a very very low constant buzz when the amp is on). Any one know which wire is the turn on wire for factory amp ? Thank you.

If I am correct, non-ML do not come equipped with a factory amp. I recommend running your signal wire via fuse tap to your fuse box for a 12v connection that turns off when your car is off. Likely your radio fuse, or an accessory fuse such as your cigarette lighter. Make sure your connection is good, a weak or loose connection can be your issue as well.

I have used one of these fuse taps offered on ebay.com, with no static issues or any issue for that matter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ADD-A-CIRCUIT-ATC-ATO-BLADE-STYLE-FUSE-HOLDER-FUSE-TAP-USA-SELLER-/321055100785?pt=US_Car_Audio_Video_Fuses_Fuse_Holders&hash=item4ac0600f71

It does have a factory audio amp and I am currently using the cigarette fuse to turn on my after market amp. But that's not the best method because my after market amp is ON when I turn on my car. It should be on only when I turn on my HU.
