Default existing 12V source in the trunk?

anyone know if there is a 12V source in the trunk I can easily tap into? (I want to wire up a relay to get more umph out of the stock alarm horn. cause all that horn needs is a solid 12V to really fire. and the voltage the alarm sends to it, is such a fast burst of voltage, it hardly even registers on a multimeter. so the current wire running to the horn will be the trigger for the relay. from my tests a while back, that should work very well.)

I forget... Does the 02 have the CD changer plug back there? If so, that's an option.
