You will prob find the haynes guide useful mate - its good wen ur starting to learn new things

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Haynes-Corsa-Modifying-Manual_W0QQitemZ8026746540QQcategoryZ18424QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

to take the wire off the battery you should disconnect the +ve terminal (the one that the amp cable is connected to

Doing this will mean you will lose all your CD Player settings, clocks time etc...

Power cable (red) will be comin from battery going to amp. remove first, from battery)
ground cable (black?) will be shorted, going to chasis
Remote lead, most likely coming from back of head unit (HU) will be thinner and will go to amp
Phono leads/RCA leads, will be a pair of wires with two 'heads' at each end. will plug into HU one end and amp at other end. These just pull out.
Speaker wire will most probably be unscred at 'sub' end, and may need unscrewing from amp with screw driver....

is this what you want to know, im still a bibt unsure
