pretty sure you need the head unit for the amp
not sure though

try buying a wiring harness/install kit for an aftermarket headunit for the monsoon connection

the pinout it provides would help you out significantly

- How to power on/off the amp. (Not quite sure where to being for this. I'll be using that Opus 90w power supply. Can that provide what's needed to signal power-up?)

- How to run in the line level from PC (this I found at vwvortex.com):

Gray Amp connector (Speaker level Input from HU) Most people tap the rear lines for Subs.
