Default 12v Constant

i have a 1999 honda accord and i wanted to know if there is another 12 v constant source i can hook the alarm up to instead of the 12v source in the ignition harness or battery, because both places are too obvious and easy to defeat(seeing a red wire coming from each). and if there is a source, could you tell me the location and maybe the wire color, thz

well thats another obvious place, plus the way i'm going through the firewall its will easy to see, so a thief woudl be like, "oh look at this red wire going through the firewall, i think i'll cut it", mostly any wire going through the firewall the thief knows its something important (siren, alarm power, etc), i want to run the 12v constant wire somewhere inside the car like i know that i can operate my power seats even with the car off so does that mean that there is a 12v constant wire somewhere under my seat. Thz

It is an alarm, so how about a black 12 gauge wire connected at the alternator + prong, running through the factory loom into the car.

i agree with the alternator prong idea. you will most likely never see it because it is going so low, and you can't get to it without having the hood open. **** thieves man, it shouldn't have to be like this. I am getting so paranoid about my car getting stolen now, and it isn't even nice.
