subwoofer amp install?

so im trying to install my avic d3 and im currently doing my wiring harness and there are a few extra wires i am concerned about that dont match up to my pioneer harness... there is an orange, orange/white, and blue... the orange says for dash illumintaion (+/-) and the blue says antenna power... are these required for the install??? and the next problem i am running into is the automatic turn on for my amp these are the instructions from kicker

Automatic Turn-On Selection: The DX series offers three different automatic turn-on modes that can be selected on the end panel; +12V, DC Offset, and Audio. Using either the DC Offset or Audio mode causes the REM terminal to have +12V out for turning on additional amplifiers.
• Remote Turn-On: Set the switch to +12V to use the remote turn-on lead from your source unit. Run 18 gauge wire from the Remote Turn-On Lead on your source unit to the terminal labeled REM between the amplifier’s positive and negative power terminals. This is the preferred automatic turn-on method.
• DC Offset Turn-On: If Remote Turn-On is not an option, the next best setting is DC Offset. The DC Offset mode detects a 6V DC offset from the HI-Level speaker outputs when the source unit has been turned on.
• Signal Sense Turn-On: The Audio setting is the final alternative for Automatic turn-on. This is a Signal Sense turn-on method that detects the incoming audio signal from your source unit and automatically turns on the amp. This turn-on method will not work properly if the input gain control is not set appropriately.

to be completely honest this is giberish to me so any help would be greatly appreciated guys!!!

thanks

To answer one of you questions, on page 13 of the installation manual it says the blue/white is the amp trigger or remote turn on. You will have to run an 18awg wire from the hu to the amp(recommended), or utilize one of the amp functions you listed (ie. dc offset, signal sense....) to turn the amp on(not advised).
Insulate the blue power antenna wire and do not use.
I failed to see a solid orange wire listed in the Pioneer diagram, but the orange white was listed as "lighting terminal switch" which I assume is a dimmer function. If I'm right you should also insulate and not use this wire.
