Yes, you connect your amp's power wire to the positive post. With a fuse.

so that post does have a charge? cause i have the power wire just wedged in between the bushing(car powerwire for component stuff..ie. starter, etc) and the terminal

Its hard to understand what you mean. You crimp then solder a ring terminal on the end of your wire, then unscrew the post, put the ring on the bolt and screw it back in.

you can use a different type so that you don't have to run multiple power cords to the trunk. EDIT: Try a Distribution block
