Power For Amps

I’m installing two very modest amplifiers that aren’t strictly designed for use in cars. I need to wire a 13.5V, 3 amp supply to each. Can anyone recommend where to take the power from?

from the battery. as I guess the amps will be close to it.

Why?So just some eyelets off the battery posts? Would it not be better to wire it off the ignition circuit?
Please provide links to the amps so we can see what they are and what they really need.
Amps normally have a trigger wire from the head unit to activate them.

What amps are they? 3A fuse rating, I'm guessing they're not particularly powerful?

Yeah the amps I had were far too under-powered. I'm now using a 1000W amp wired directly to the battery. The plan is to seal the boot, soundproof it and then install the Sub on the floor of the boot (rear of the sub in the spare wheel space). Has anyone else installed a sub in this way or know how well it sounds when placed there?
