Sorry for the newb questions, but I didn't see a sticky that answered my questions. I have a Sound Ordinance 12" sub/box and a matching amp. I've wired cars for audio before but nothing like the FiST. So I had a few questions hopefully someone can help me with.

1.) How to run the amp wire from the battery to the rear of the hatch? Is there a hole in the firewall? Best place to route?

2.) What fuse do I tap/Add-a-fuse to to control my amp so that it's only on when the car is on. Aka remote wire.

3.) Does the FiST have some sort of line-out where I can route the signal wires to the amp? Or will I need a LOC and tap the rear speaker wires? If so, is there a diagram somewhere of what I need to tap into?

4.) I have a 2015 FiST with NAV and Sony Premium Audio. Are there any "gotchas" on the install?

I'm sure I have more questions but I figured this is a good start. I've had this sub/amp sitting around for nearly 2 years just waiting to be put into a fun hatch. With your help, I will have boom!

Thank you! This took 99% of the guessing work out of it. Time to go shopping for supplies.
