[QUOTE="2000GTSTANG, post: 15709845, member: 49495"] A few mistakes on your end. 1. I would hook up the amplifier blue/white wires to the amp remote wire coming from the HU (not the power antenna lead). Some radios only extend the power antenna when the HU is using the radio and retract it when playing other sources. If thats not the case with your HU and the amps are on when the HU turns on, you can leave it alone. 2. The red and white RCA connectors need to be hooked up to the sub out on the HU. This connection is what drives the Mach 460 woofers in the doors and rear deck. Now at least in my car with the Mach 1000; one of the RCAs is for my factory subs and the other is for the factory door/rear deck woofers. I can un-plug one and still have bass out of the woofers and vice-versa. So with that said, you may be able to plug in only one of the RCA connectors and you'd be good. If not, you'd need to buy a RCA splitter, one male to two female. PS: Make sure you have all of your high and low pass filters set properly. High pass filter for the Mach mid-range/tweeters and low pass on the subwoofer out for the Mach woofers. Let me know if you need any other help. [/QUOTE]
