stock hu im assuning? all you need is a 12v auxilery source that turns on/ off when the car turns on or off there are a bunch of them but generally yes the blue wire is the remote turn on lead

no you cannot, because then your amp will be on all the time thus draining your battery. sometimes there will be 2 blue wires in the back of the HU. I would suggest taking a digital multi meter and checking the voltage when in CD mode. if it gives you a reading, then that is your remote. if there is not a reading, then that is the antenna wire. if you cannot find your remote wire, then connect it to the ACC wire.

RCA are only to use either from the HU or a LOC. From amp to subs, your need actual speaker wire.
