Amplifier Issue

So I looked at the wiring diagram again and the two door speakers alone are run by the amplifier in the back of the car. I checked the 12V turn-on wire for the amp, and it has 12V (at the amplifier).

I then moved to the speaker input wires which have no polarity (+ or -) leading me to believe that somehow they have shorted. Because there is no input polarity, all 4 of the speaker out wires are negative (grounds) and thus the front door speakers are not receiving any signal.

The strange thing is that the front door speakers and front mids and tweets share the same wires from the stereo head unit; however the wires split off to where one set goes to the rear amp for the front door speakers and the other wires go to the mids and tweets (powered by the head unit alone). So for the front mids and tweets to get a signal when the front door speakers (at the amp) have no signal makes no sense to me. I soldered all wires at the connector on the back of the head unit - not after the split (The D49 Junction Connector) where it goes to the back amplifier.

Can anyone make sense of this? I seriously cannot be the most knowledgeable person on here when it comes to wiring, and yet I've had zero responses all day...
