Can't install sub help plz

[sushestvo]

I recently bought PLTBA10 and I can't install it.

I used 2 splitters to split wires from back speakers on my car and plugged them into high-level inputs. Both of my speakers don't use negative, so both wires are positive - but as far as I know many cars lately comes with speakers like that.

For a ground I mounted wire into base of the car in the trunk. And for BATT(+) I connected wire from cigarette lighter which turns on like stereo only when I turn a key. Since I have no remote I connected BATT and REM together with small wire.

Subwoofer gets the power because the light is on. But my rear speakers and subwoofer don't make any sound after that, only front speakers.

Any idea why is this happening?

Oh yeah, I don't know if it matters but power to a cigarette lighter gets before it gets to stereo. Because it takes only half-way turn key to activate cigarette lighter and 2/3 ways to activate stereo.

I hope I can get some help. It's pretty disappointing.

you need to do that set up all over try running it how it should be run ya power directly from ya batt. run a remote to the radio and run speaker wire from the amp not from ya rear speakers then it might actually work

If you have an amp...why would you run the got **** wire from ur stock..or back speakers or whatever to your subs son?....Get one amp for the back speakers and comps..4 channel or w/e..and one amp for your subs...Ive never even installed a car stero and it just makes scence to do it that way lol

The sub has built-in amplifier.

It work on the other car like that very good.

I think I figured the problem though.
