How do you wire an amp switch do you just put the switch in between the live to the amp and battery?

Simple is to cut the wire that goes from your head unit to amp. The one which tells the amp to power up when the head unit is on. Cut it, add switch and you're away.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

So you use the remote as a live on the switch and ground it to the battery?

Jeez, did you do basic electronics in school?
If you can't wire a switch then don't fit one. You will fry your car.
