can't control volume on my coaxials + no sub output

[maldecido33 10+ year member]

i just finished installing my door and rear pillar speakers; their powered by an orion 4004. I've got also got an AA 12" ava off of an orion 1200d. headunit is a Clarion DXZ945MP.

Headunit comes on just fine, but i can't control any of the output from the speakers (Except by turning the gain up and down on the amp), and i've lost my sub output. both amps are receiving 12volts power, are properly grounded, recieving power from the remote turn on, high quality RCA's being used, but.

The speakers stay at an average volume (maybe 70%), and it's really ****ing annoying.

I think it MAY be a problem with either the headunit itself, or maybe the RCA's.

The stock radio wiring harness was cut out when i got the truck, so the headunit is hardwired in their. I've got everything hooked up right (i'm almost positive at least), but if anyone has a link that says what each color wire is in the OEM radio harness of a 2000 chevrolet silverado is, i'd GREAT appreciate it.

thanks

Have you tested the head unit outside the vehicle to eliminate the truck from the equation?

nah, but i'm gonna tomorrow at the test bench at work; i'm pretty sure it's the problem

headunit test fine; i think it may be either the RCA's, or the RCA preouts. i'm about to go pick up a tone generator (i've been meaning to get one for a while), and run a tone through the rca's, the amp, the spker wires, try and narrow it down to one common source.

think radio shack would have a toner?

ya but that only works to tone everything together, not the speakers seperately, or through the amp, or the the RCA's and the amp.... i'll borrow one at work today until i can pick one up
