No sound need help

[jkrswld 10+ year member]

I installed a pioneer AVIC-Z130BT in a 2012 Nissan Altima. Head unit turns on, remote wire and amps are getting power but I am not getting any sound through the speakers. I also bypassed the ebrake which consisted of moving the mute wire down a spot in the Pioneer wiring harness. I am stuck right now any help would be appreciated.

ok so I tested the rca's with my volt meter. I am getting signal at the inputs on the amps but nothing coming out. These are brand new amps so I wouldnt think they are bad already. Soundstream RUB1000 and a soundstream RUB4.600 any incite on what is wrong?

a wire on your amp isnt connected, the amp is blown, or you have a splice somewhere in your wiring. make sure all connections are good.

we don't know enough - draw a diagram on how everything is connected. how did you wire the speakers to the amps? did you use any factory wiring?

no output on the subs either?

what are you using for source material? CD?

are you using any factory wiring in the signal chain?

did you test the amp output with the DMM on VAC also?

All new wiring ran from amps to speakers. I tried another amp and it didnt work either. I tested the amp out puts and there is no signal. I am working on the steering wheel control module right now. Had to do some more research to find the right directions for connecting the module. Hopefully this works.

Have you hit the reset button on the hu yet for new component/installation???I use a tooth pick

OK so I am getting power and my ground is good. remote wire is getting signal when the car is on. I tested the speaker wires with a 9v battery and they are good. Rear speakers run straight to the amp. front components go to crossovers then the amps. Could it be the steering wheel control module? This Altima is a base model. no bluetooth no navigation. Also I cant find a reset button on the unit.

Put your DMM on the speaker wires back at the amp, disconnected, and measure resistance one pair at a time. Also measure between each wire and chassis.
