Default setero help

I have run into a couple issues that i cant seem to find the answer to so i figured i would ask the experts on the gs.
I have recently bought a 1999 gs300 and have started the stereo install, this is by no means my first install but it is my first with premium sound. I did some searching on this great forum before i started and learned about using the toyota plugs to connect to the factory amp to bypass it. i had planned on using the constant 12 volts from the plug for the constant for the head unit, problem is i blew the fuse and cant seem to locate the fuse, i checked in the drivers side kick panel and found a 15 amp radio fuse but its good. I should mention that my car is a right hand drive as i am living in australia.
next issue i have yet to find the wire color needed for the power ant to hook up to the head unit.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks in advance,Jake.

sorry i guess i should have mentioned that im installing a complete stereo new 5 channel amp new sup and 4 new 6 1/2" speakers. im only using the wires off of the amp for the speakers and the power and ground for the head unit. and it says im in utah because the forum would not let me register without a 5 digit zip code so i used the one from where i moved from. Any help with the power ant connection?? thanks.
