BRZ Pre-amp harness quetion

Alright guys, got my sub and amp hooked up. I haven't had a chance to toy with settings, but it doesn't sound great and is barely pushing bass.

I have this amp:

And this sub:

I ran an 8 ga power from the battery to the back and a modified metra harness (I didn't want to cut into stock wires at all). I used these as examples:

The thing is these conflict with one another. The video says the left channel is the mint green and yellow, right being blue and white - one of the forums says the opposite. I wired mine according to the video, but I get almost no bass. Is it possible these are wrong? Essentially if these are wrong, I have the left channel feeding into the right channel on the amp, and right channel feeding into the left amp channel. I also partially wrapped the power into the amp with electrical tape, since the wires were semi-exposed - could this cause a bad connection? I will try to take pictures later today and update so that the picture is a little more clear.

Any advice? This is probably confusing, I will try to clear it up. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
