its all about the fuse tap.. you can tap into a circuit with more amps than the accessory you need as long as the input for the fuse tap for the existing circuit has the right amp and the thing you are using it for has the same amp since it has 2 plugs in the fuse tap

They don't seem to be specifying a particular fuse for your amp other than it must be at least a 15 amp fuse. You should be able to use the radio circuit for the power to your amp and it should be OK.

Thats what i was looking for. Just wanted to make sure this couped WITH the radio circuit would cause any issues

I don't have any firsthand knowledge but I have been looking to see what, if any "plug n play" options are out there. If you go to https://plugnplaykits.com you'll see that they use a Pioneer amp very similar to what you want to buy in their kit. Their photos aren't great but it looks like they are powering this amp through the harness.

To the OP... I just got off the phone with Crutchfield. They suggested the Sony amp instead. They said the Alpine one doesn't play nice with the factory amp already in the F-150.
