you have to find a wire that has 12+ volts when the key is in the acc and on position.

The "remote" refers to remote amp turn-on, which turns on the amp when the stereo is turned on, and turns it off when it turns off. Aftermarket decks have a special wire (suprise, it's labeled remote too), this wire connects to the amp "remote". Splice the remote wire to the power wire on your stock head unit (switched power, not constant), you could also splice this wire anywhere there is power when your stereo is turned on.

If it works you've done it right, the sluggish starting could have to do with a loose battery connection (it shouldn't wiggle). Also, since you've decided to go with the switch method, turn the amp on after you turn your car on, that way you can avoid any power surge problems...unlikely but just a precaution.
