Two wires near passenger kick panel? Will those work?

It's been a while, but I remember a red, and a blue connector in the kick pannel. Red is battery, and blue is ignition.

That is correct. The are about 10 guage or so if I remember correctly. They sometimes terminate on a 3 unit plug in type of connector on each wire to make installs go somewhat easier.

I have been doing installs for a few years now, but mostly Personal Vehicles, Fire & EMS apparatus, and ect. I did my first radio install in a PI a few months ago, but there was already wiring terminated in the console, so it was simple. I knew there was such wiring pre-installed for this, but no idea where to look.

I have 30 PI's to do some install and uninstall work to in the next 4-5 weeks. I am just trying to get as much information as possible. When your only 17 its hard for some people to take you seriously when you ask questions like this so I appreciate the help.
