The easiest way is to get a line out converter and hook it to your rear speakers for signal to your amp.  You can get a remote turn on at the fuse box, and power directly at your battery.  Ground somewhere in the trunk, and make sure you scrape the paint to get to bare metal for a good ground...LOOK before you drill, then look again.  make sure that you won't drill through the fuel tank or anything like that.

I was told to use a fuse tap to turn on the amp. But i tried it and it didn't work. what fuse should i tap into in order to turn the amp on when the radio cuts on?

 Absolutely do not tap into a fuse at  the fuse box for your remote wire........Instead pull your radio out and use a dmm to find a wire that shows  12 volts when the radio is on and 0 volts when the radio is off
