Wiring looks pretty straight forward to install a Flex-a-Lite fan. Where's the best place to tap into an ignition controlled power source?

I guessing by the thinness of the wire not much current flows through.

The flexalite electric fan has the 10 gauge battery and ground wire and the 14-16 gauge ignition turn on wire. The ignition turn on wire only needs to signal the controller to switch over to the 10 gauge battery wire which carries the full load.
