I have a question for you I have a 2003 suburban I recently purchased the guy before me put the pac rp5 gm11 interface in it. I still have all my chimes and steering wheel controls

well I have four 12s that I had in my Tahoe I put them in my suburban now and with two amps powering the 12s I have a problem when I crank the gain up on the amp barely even at all it shuts the whole thing down I believe it's because from what I understand that the bose amp turns it off. how do I go about fixing that. when I say I have like 5,000 Watts I have about maybe 400 watts coming out of my amps right now because if I turn it up at all it it makes it just go silent it turns it all off. It doesn't put my amps into protect mode it just like shuts down and my amps are still on the blue lights perfect but I get no sound..I'm trying to find the easiest route in the most effective route I don't really want to put it aftermarket amp in here to power all the door speakers because I just really rather not have to do that at the same time I want to have I want to have my Max output that I can have because that's what I built 10 cubic square foot box for was to maximize every bit airspace so I can put to the speakers. But I have an aftermarket head unit it's an aftermarket Kenwood double DIN head unit and I have my RCA's coming off of the rear subwoofer output going to my subwoofer amps I've read a couple different things on how to bypass it but I don't want to bypass it and not have the door speakers have any power to them I don't know how that would work so I just need to know what I need to do and what I should do and if I have to put it aftermarket amp in here I mean I guess I have to do what I have to do

So, questions, what troubleshooting have you done?
and please clarify what is connected to the factory amp? just the door speakers? hi or low input? and the sub's are running off of the kenwood pre-outs?
have you checked that the subs are wired correctly? what ohms are they reading?
