Since you have a 74 you have the power tap on the battery cable. There are
three brown wires attached to it leaving one tab available four your radio.
But you will need a 3/8 QC push on connector which are kind of hard to find.
But that is the best spot for a high power amp.
One of those brown wires goes to the fuse block where it feeds the purple
wire circuit (fused). There might be a spare 1/4 in tab on the fuse block that
you can use.
Be sure and fuse it with the manufacturer's recommended fuse.
