any amp will likely draw more current than any existing wire can supply to it along with whatever is already there. Run new power wire with proper gauging and fuse directly from the battery. This is a safe way to do it and not at all difficult in the z..do a search. As for remote turn on or accessory power(which don't see how you would need this)... Remote should be off the head unit or lead wire from the Bose amp
