Default Best way to get switched and non switched power?

Where is the best place to pick up power, both switched and non switched?

I will not cut into a wire or use Scotchlok's.

Can I install a extra relay?

Also where is the best place to install a couple of small electronic boxes?

I need to install a 5 volt transformer for a Sirrus radio, a control box for a Escort 9500CI and the speaker for it.

non-switched = battery
switched = CE panel - I use those "add-a-Circuit's"

Add-a-circuit's are great!! No.2, 5, 9, and 11 are all good options depending upon your amp needs, in my opinion.

Don't know whether it applies to LHD cars too, but on RHD cars, there's a good little spot on the outboard side of the glovebox, just forward of where the AC line connects to it.

Add-a-circuit is definitely quick, easy, and reversible. Plus, you get a fused circuit.

If the factory amp has been bypassed, then removal provides a bit of space for small boxes. And, IIRC, there's switched and unswitched power at the booster's harness plug.
