Exclamation 12v Constant for head unit

Hi! Does anyone know which wire is the constant power source behind the stereo head unit? I dont have a voltmeter to check, and I dont want to have to run wire to the fuse box or anything because I just re-wired my amplifier and speakers and Ive had enough of messing around with wiring for the time being. My head unit keeps resetting, and I know it isnt the backup fuse because I just replaced it and my clock works fine. Any help appreciated, thanks!

Should be the white wire with blue stripe. Not having a voltmeter is really handicapping your ability to find electrical problems.
