putting wires in my car

[c0rrupted0ne 10+ year member]

i got an audiopipe 4g installation kit. the first step is regarding the aue fuse

sorry too lazy to type that out lol, but take a look at the red (power) wire

it seems that the aue fuse is already connected to the cable, so i can skip the 1st step?

also where do i connect the signal cable ( not sure what if its called signal cable but its the cable that is supposed to turn the amp on when the deck is turned on)? i have a pioneer deh p500ub

sorry for the noob questions, this is my first time installing

Is the fuse holder in the middle of the wire, or is it just holding both ends of the wire together? The remote wire will connect to the blue wire labeled "remote" on the harness of your radio.

it is in the middle

You mentioned you have a pioneer HU. This is just a side note - probably the last thing you should do in your install. Apparently, Pioneer HUs always have issues though, so after you get everything else connected, follow this thread:

You want the fuse close to the battery not in the middle of your wire. The signal wire is aka as the remote wire which is what it should be called on the amp and on the headunit.

where the fuse holder is, basically turning the ~15-20ft wire into a ring?

why is there a need to make a ring? the fuse is really close to the battery connector. the other end should go straight to the amp? how does the ring come in?

As long as in the Inline Fuse holder is close to the batt you can run the other end to your amp
