So I installed my new head unit and my rear door speakers don't work. The cargo area ones in the roof are still on as are the fronts. Any ideas what I did wrong?

Why did you have to run new wires to the doors?

Not sure about this but i was told that the factory amp(if u have one) powers the rear door speakers, may need to bypass the amp but like i said, I am not 100% sure, someone told me that.

unknown at this time.
you have to trigger it using the pink wire in dash that activates relay for the amp. if you feed you HU control wire to amp it will not work. At least not without damaging you HU or amp.

So I can just wire the pink wire for the amp relay to the acc wire to turn it on?
