Stock amps do not have much power and manufactures

Its more correct to use 4 gauge for power wiring weather
it makes a hear able difference might vary by how much you
slam it.
The issue has to do with basic electrical considerations power
vs wire size.
Better to have a fuse.
Amps should never be wired in Series for Power.

Alright so I don't really know how to format this so I'm just going to try my
best.
I started out with the base system (6 speakers) and just recently bought and
installed a Blaupunkt THA475PnP amp.
The harness basically connects the fiber optics of the head unit to the amp
without the need to splice.
There is an additional two wires (positive and ground) that is part of the
harness and is somehow taking power from the head unit fiber optics cable
back to the amplifier to power it.
I'm guessing this is the way Blaupunkt intended for as it is supposed to be a
plug-n-play amplifier.
But in some DIYs on the forum I've seen for this line of amplifiers, they
power the amp directly from the battery instead of the fiber optics.
I was also thinking that maybe Blaupunkt knows the power isn't too high
which is why they went PnP power from the head unit and no inline fuse.
And for wiring, I'm talking about what path to wire the AMP back into the
trunk. I think the path you're supposed to take is through the driver side
(left) because of length restraints. But my harness extension is very long
and I believe I can route it through the passenger side (right).
