blue is remote for the amps the blue and white is the antenna or is the other way around ill find out. I strongly say not to use the tape because if the tape comes undone you will have a fire and i mean WILL have a fire. go for the fuse holders its only like ten dollars. and yes you need a ground. If you take some of your 8 gauge wire and clean paint of the metal of the car you can use that spot to run your ground. ground just has to touch bare metal, with out ground nothing should work. Dont be cheap because it can come back and bite you in the butt later.

its has a voltage meter, continuity setting, ohm meter. Like 20 dollars at autozone. this will allow you to find out whether this black wire is hot or just a ground. Are you using an aftermarket headunit? because if you are it should be a simple plug and play. simply get aftermarket wiring harness and follow instructions.

i am not 100% sure but i think there is an amplifier in the trunk of your car. Some other members will know. if it was me i would just re-wire the speakers. the cheap wire that the factory puts in are not really audio quality speaker wire. its not that hard to run new wires to all the speakers.
