you can do this a couple of ways:
1. you could just yank the kenwood cd and hook up the remote wire as it is supose to be done.
OR
2. find a +12v ignition wire (i.e. a wire that is only on when the key is in the run position) and wire the remote turn on for the amp to that wire you could put a toggle switch on this wire too if you would like to be able to manually turn off the amp. This will power the amp only when the key is in a run position. RECOMENDED!!
OR
3. Find a constant +12v (ie a wire that always is powered up) wire under your dash or where ever is convenient. then wire a toggle switch inline with this wire. DON'T FORGET TO TURN OFF THE SWITCH WHEN YOU TURN OFF YOUR CAR AND LEAVE!! This isn't the method that I would recomend as it is easily possible to leave the amp on when you leave your car and come back to a dead battery.
