can you explain this a lil bit:

Fuse Box (Amp #35) -> AMP (For Remote Amp turn on when car is turned on)

thanks in advance

Most amps have this input called "Remote in", which is to turn the amp on when there is a signal to it. Do not confuse this with the +12v Power input which goes to the battery via an inline fuse.

Amplifier Installation Guide

So you got to connect that to any power source in the car which will turn on only when the ignition is on, otherwise, if you connect it to a point which is always on, the amp will always be on and drain the battery.

You connect it along with the Fuse, in the top prong of Fuse #35 (please check the fuse guide to be sure).
Its very simple, just pull the fuse out, and push the wire in the top prong along with the fuse. Connect the other end to the "remote on" input of the amp.
This is the fuse for the radio, which gets a signal only when the ignition is turned on. Thus your amp comes on only when the ignition is on.

Some guys connect it to different points, sometimes tap it into the cigarette lighter module or an airbag module , but the radio one feels the safest.
