[QUOTE="jrwalte, post: 4640275, member: 584454"] It's very probably you disconnected the speaker OEM harness when installing the RCAs on the HU. Sometimes they are seperate from the main wire harness and it may have fallen behind the dash and you can't see it. Check to make sure the wires coming from the HU labeled as your front speakers are connected to your OEM wires. But did you even remove your HU? It sounds like all you did was replace the existing amp (and reuse the existing RCAs) and also install the cap. Since the HU turns on it doesn't appear as if you shorted it when connecting anything. But the fact that your HU amp and the RCA for the subwoofer out doesn't work is odd. Did you double check the audio settings to make sure the subwoofer out option is turned on? That would take care of one of the problems. Caps do have specific instructions on how to charge them before you connect them (hopefully you followed this). [/QUOTE]
