New Pioneer HU, woofers not firing?

Just installed a new Pioneer AVH-4100NEX with the Metra wiring harness but now the woofers in the doors are not firing at all. Everything is crimped up tight in the harness.

Has anybody else experienced this?

Also, there is a harness that went to the original stereo that doesn't get adapted to the new one. What all is in that harness? I'll take a pic tomorrow to show which one I'm talking about.

Woofers are hooked up to stock amp which is in trunk. Did you wire woofers to pioneer head unit?

Probably didn't get remote on signal to the amp wired right.

You are correct. The Metra harness doesn't include a wire for the amp remote turn on signal. I tapped it into the powered antenna circuit.

Stupid Metra. The mounting brackets don't fit without dremeling them out. Metra half-asses everything.

Thanks for the help!

might want to try the beat sonic kit, if you can wait a few days for shipping, the spacers were perfect and the harness was too, came with bullet connectors which I cut off and soldered my connections, but everything was easy with that kit.
