How do I connect the amp to battery?

Never installed an amp or subs before.

How do I connect the amp to the battery? My battery is in my trunk by the way (08 Pontiac G5)

I have everything hooked up except for the ground and power wire.

Do I hook up the power wire from the amp to the positive connection on the battery?

Do I need a fuse? I bought an amp kit before that has a fuse holder with a 100a fuse.

The amp appears to have 2 15a fuses on it already.

And then I just connect from ground on the amp to ground somewhere on my car right?

I can't find anyplace to ground to.

yes run wire from the positive terminal on the battery to your amp. And yeah you want to put a fuse block between the wire for safety. And find any place near the amp to ground. Look for any bolt that connects to a piece of metal of the car. Make sure when you ground whatever bolt you use, use sandpaper to scratch of all paint on that spot for safety reasons as well
