Question about hooking up remote wire

EDIT: So I didnt want to start a new thread so there is 2 questions in one thread here, you can Ignore the send part if you want my main concern right now is the LOC.

Okay, I purchased a LOC (Line-Out converter) from best buy the other day, for those of you who dont know what that is or call it something else its the thingy that you tape into the rear speakers with that converts it so you have an RCA plug in.

So im just wondering as to which RCA cable goes where (or if it even matters) as you can see both the terminals are black and on my amp one is black and one is red so basically I need to know if there is any polarity to the RCA's coming from the converter or what?

I don't know how well you can it it, I can click on it to make it bigger but lemme know if its too small

:END OF EDIT

From here down is the 2nd question in this thread...

Okay so this is how I will be hooking up my remote wire.

I purchased an add a fuse kit from an auto store, and I will be putting it into the sunroof fuse slot (since my car does not have a sunroof in it). My question is what size fuse should I go with, aka how many amps does that remote wire draw?

The kit came with a 3, 5, 7.5, and 10 amp fuse, my guess is I'll be running like an 18 awg wire as the remote wire (or what ever comes in those amp kits)

you dont need to fuse your remote wire just plug it into the remote wire into the fus box that comes on when the vehicle starts

That is some terrible advice. You definitely should have some sort of fuse on that remote turn on lead. Very slim chance it will ever come into contact with ground but if it did you'd be much better off replacing a fuse than replacing your remote turn on wire and possibly some of the other wires in your vehicle because they burnt up. The remote turn on for your amp doesn't require very much current. You would be fine to use the smallest fuse you got in that kit and honestly you could even go down to a 2 or 1 amp fuse if you wanted.
