[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8707004, member: 679555"] This is just a shot in the dark, but it sounds like you may have incorrect resistance on the rear speakers. In other words at least one of them or both are shorted and that is stressing the weak internal sony amp when you include the rear speakers. It's a pain, but you should check the resistance between the terminals on each of the rear speakers. They should be 4 ohms impedence, which will read between about 2.5 and 3.2 ohms on a regular multimeter/voltmeter. Another thing that could have happened is a polarity switch, if they're canceling each other out it will play, but it'll be extremely weak, almost inaudible. The nice thing about speaker wiring from the back of the head unit is that you can confirm the wire colors directly by looking at the speaker terminals themselves and you don't need to rely on any website with questionable data.
