He has contributed 500% more than you.

You must be new to the internets, read my posts. My suggestions come AFTER reading what he has said, and he has clearly explained a few things that have shot right over your head.

Have you really?

Have you tried connecting the remote wire in the harness?

That quote came AFTER, I REPEAT, AFTER, the OP said this:

the amp turns on. The sub plays on channels 3/4 just fine.

So who's the one that's reading now? Now, if you would like to go back and re-read all of the OP's posts, he has continually talked about the wiring harness.

He has contributed 500% more than you.

Doesn't appear that way to me...looks like he's just downtalking everybody that's actually tried to help you.

Have you tried this suggestion yet? It seems like the best one to start with...though I guess I had assumed you were smart enough to try this yourself...:

Try pulling the speakers out of the door and just connecting them direcvtly to the amp (like, with a 1' piece of wire). If that works, then just run new wires straight from the amp to the speaker terminals.

he and i were just trying to point out that i had already told about- what i was doing with the wire harness. Several people had already made similar questions on page one, but i guess some people in the world must be illiterate. i forgive you.

Have you tried pulling the speakers and hooking them directly to the amp as the one quote I pointed out suggests? If not, GTFO the forum and go do it, or, alternatively, stop *****in' about the fact that your speakers aren't working, as you're obviously not that concerned about it.

there is an amp somewhere in my car. i am almost positive of this. When i hook the speakers to the amp in my trunk, the rear speakers (still connected to the head unit) dont work. Which tells me something is interfering with their signals. Possibly due to the fact that my amped signals running to my front speakers are going through the stock amp.

How do i do this?

As long as everything is still connected in the oem harness except for the speaker wires, then it's already done if not, connect any wires that are not speaker wires back to the harness, that should power up your oem amp, then the signal from your amp will be going into he oem amp to turn it on. So what you will need to do is run new wires through to the kick panels where the speaker wires will terminate and you can splice right in there with wires from the amplifier.

Not worth the time anymore. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

Thats quite possible so what you'll have to do is match the wires going into the doors with the wires in the kicks, then test for continuity and then splice those wires.

So run new wires and, voila, problem fixed. Why are you so adamant about running through all the stock wiring? After your reply to this, I'm no longer going to continue with helping you. You can take advise from nismos and his 8,000 posts of undeniable wisdom. Have fun tracing wires, testing continuity, and wasting a whole lot of time on something that is a quick fix.

Also, have you tried pulling the rca's from your head unit and seeing if your rear speakers turn on? It is possible that the factory amp turns off when an RCA input for the Front is detected...

i am thinking i am just going to bring the car into best buy. For $50 they will do an amp bypass. I really want to get my car back together and the amp i believe is tucked way back in the crowded dash. I cannot find the wires going to the speakers past the head unit anyhow.

Good luck man.
