If you don't mind your amp being on anytime the key is on, you can connect it to the same wire you have the radio's red wire connected to.

The yellow wire is the constant power feed. The red wire is the switched power wire that tells your radio to turn off when the key turns off.

As long as the Sony radio is not a 2 shaft unit, you should not need to buy anything new to mount the Alpine.

No it is not bad. Some amps come on in protect untill it runs a few checks and sees that it is ok to turn on, then it comes on.
