Short of jamming a wire into the fuse block and pinching it in there, what's the CORRECT way to steal power from the block?
I haven't done much electrical work in the car, but want to do it right. For lights I'm assuming it's easiest (and best) just to 'T' into a wire coming off the cluster (for lights).

If you want to tap into a fuse just go out to and auto parts store and buy a fuse tap.
yes, just use a fuse tap that can be had at any auto parts store.
You need to keep in mind, that you want to tap into the wire on the side of the fuse that is on the power side. Not the side that the electrical component is on.

Pull the fuse panel out and wire in a new circuit.
Most people won't bother to be so meticulous... I'm just anal
If you have an open port on your fuse box do as lenko suggests, go to the junk yard and pull a couple of circuits out of a wrecked car and wire them in correctly. Will require a pin removal tool (or really small screwdriver) but that is the best way to do it....
Do I even need to go into the fuse block if my amp is fused onboard?

this is not for wiring amps. amps are wired directly to the battery. not to a fuse panel.

Exactly....the fuse panel is for the REM turn on lead because decks cant usually turn on more than 2 or so amps before it doesnt work because of the low amperage

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good. 
LOL

in the case of multiple amps, you should be using a relay.

agreed, go the relay route. wich reminds me i'm probalby going to need to pick one up

I use relays on all my remote circuits anyway...just for safety.
