Amp Wiring - Do I Have This Right?

[XanRules]

Hi folks,

I've gone through the old threads and just want to make sure I fundamentally understand the process here as I have never wired an amp up in a car. The amp in question is a Kicker KEY 4-channel amp which I will be putting under one of the seats. The manual is here.

So, I run the power wire from the amp with the fuse in-line under the hood. The manual shows to ground to the battery, which should be grounded to bare metal. Assuming my battery is already grounded to bare metal, I do not need to run another ground wire at this time. Yes?

I then run the power wire into the cabin and route it to the power supply of the amp. I will likely need to use some sort of adapter or find another clever way to connect the 10G power wire to the 14G wire of the wiring harness. I then ground the amp to a bare chassis ground. Still correct so far?

I then tap into the speaker wires in the body, matching the colors on the wiring harness to these colors in this thread. I can get to these either from pulling out the stock head unit as shown in @Fiestig 's post here, or I can hunt around in the B-Pillar for the rears and the footwells for the fronts. Still correct?

If all of the above is correct, my last question is, where do I tap into for the "Remote Turn-On?"

Cheers!

I installed the line out converter behind the head unit and grabbed the keyed power source, for remote, from the same stereo harness... As far as the power cable, you can use the screw posts on the battery to attach your fuse and send power to the amp.
