W124 power source for subwoofer?

I am installing a powered subwoofer in the old 87 and wonder to what I should attach the power line? Should I run it all the way up to the fusebox? Or can I cheat and run power from something closer to the trunk?

A sub amp uses a lot of juice. I would (and did) run a proper fused power line from the battery to the amp.
