My Plug n Play harness should be showing up today in the mail, but I had a question-How are you providing power to the Key 500 Amp? Are you tapping into the battery or someplace else?

Kicker Key 500 Amp install question

That's literally what the plug n play harness is for. You don't have to wire ANYTHING to the amp. You unplug one harness from the OEM stereo. You plug one end of the plug n play harness to the stereo, another plugs into the factory plug you removed. Then you plug the harness into the 2nd piece of the harness which has two connectors which goes directly to the 200.4 Kicker amp.
It provides power, ground and speaker level input etc. You don't have to wire anything.
Personally I'd be PISSED if I spent money on a dedicated harness and I had to wire something up after the fact.

I have the Key200.4 up front and the 500 is going in the back to power the sub. I don't think the P&P harness (I have 11-4 kit coming) has power to the rear-thus my question.
Did you change the title to your thread?
If not, I need another cup of coffee. I SWEAR the title stated 200.4 and now it says 500.
Either way, my mistake. I just installed the 200.4 and replacement kick and dash speakers. I'm shopping subs now, but I'm not willing to sacrifice any rear space (2 door and I'm building a cargo floor / drawer and removing rear seats) so I'm likely going to a powered sub.

So another dumb question on power-I just saw that the battery seems to have a positive "bus bar" that I could hook the amp into that also has a fuse on it-can I just use one of the posts there to hook power to the amp to? Also what size nut do I need for that?

If you're using your own wiring to power, make sure to put a fuse on it! Near the battery side.
Even if there were a fuse between that bar and the battery, still fuse your wire

Within 18" of the battery iircIf you're using your own wiring to power, make sure to put a fuse on it! Near the battery side.
