While all this sounds reasonable I would think adding an amp to the fuse may just push it over the edge. Your thoughts? I am concerned about warranty since I have a few years left.

An 800 watt amp will push the pyro fuse over the edge; traditionally it is safer to use the fuse that comes with a commercial car audio amp power kit; I used a 4 gauge setup that came with an 80amp inline fuse.

I have no idea if the dealer will see an error if power is drawn directly from the battery; my car is under warranty too.
