Sub not powering on when not in Radio mode.

I just installed my buddies head unit, amplifier and subwoofer today.

The subwoofer powers on when in tuner mode but shuts off when on bluetooth or usb mode.

Anyone ran into something that can cause this?

I hope its a simple rewire..

Sony btx-s300 headunit

Boss Audio 1100w mono amp

MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1200 Watt Dual 12" Sub

 
You hooked into the wrong wire.

All headunits have a wire thats a REMOTE wire that turns on all accessories.. like amps. But some headunits have that wire.. as well as another wire that looks very similar, but is the "remote wire" (so to speak) for a power antenna if your car has one. This is so the antenna is only up when your using the radio.

You hooked into that wire..

 
Okay.. Its a saturn vue, mind grabbing a diagram and showing me?

I need to know what to look for before I disassemble it all again.

2003 vue.
