Default Question on wiring up a stereo and steering wheel controls

Hey guys. I have been searching and I have found MOST of what I need. Here are the questions I have left...

I have a Kenwood DDX318
Turbowire wiring harness
PAC SWI-RC steering wheel control kit

I also have a small amp for the speakers and a Kicker Hideaway (amp and 8 in. sub combo)

1. I have most everything wired up BUT I still have a blue/white amp turn on wire left. Is this wire used to power the small amp for the speakers or what does that go to? I also have a wire on the stereo side of the harness that says power control (also blue/white). Am I an idiot and they go together?

2. My second question refers to the steering wheel control adapter. As far as the resistors go, how exactly to we tap in to the harness? I have read that we can just cut directly into the wires on the factory harness to splice in. Do I just cut a slit in the wire and electrical tape the resistors in? I have also read that the wires may not be the same color as the is indicated, but as long as we get the wire going to the correct pin I should be ok.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance fellas!!
