Seems like a lot of problems can arise from this as it is. I think from here the best way for me to go is to just get a new wiring kit. Do you have any recommendations?

The only problem there could be is worn insulation. If the insulation is in good shape, there is no need to replace the wires. It's a PITA to pull wires in the Z (and most other cars).

If you have enough slack on the cabin end of the power wire, pull it back into the battery compartment enough that you have access to the fuse holder. As has been mentioned, you really ought to remove the fuse while working on the wiring.

Looks like I'll try it out. I definitely have enough wire to mount an amp under my seat or something, then I can just get RCA wires (or can I buy the ends to the ones I have?) And a new ground wire for the amp.

I'll remember to pull the fuse. I don't know how to yet but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Now I just need to figure out what my power wire can handle

You can buy RCA connectors.
