Pioneer DEH-P5200 wiring

I just bought a Pinoeer DEH-p5200 and I'm unsure on how to wire the build in alarm. I have an 95' Ford Escort LX Hatchback. Also I wanted to put my amp on the ceiling but The screws rippped out when I tried it, is there anything I need for it? thanks.

For the alarm: the white/yellow wire should be connected to the vehicle's door pin switch wire. The brown wire is a pulsed positive output that can be used with relays to flash your parking lights or honk your horn. If you're not certain how to make either of these connections, I'd just cap them off and forget about the alarm. It's not all that useful a feature on these head units.

I can't think of any good way to attach an amplifier to the ceiling in an Escort.
