    Use a high to low level converter, it takes in speaker level outputs and steps them down to line level. As far as the turn on I was looking at that last night. I have a diagram for the 05' and it has speaker level and amp level outputs.

    OK, I am not a dentist so I am not going to sit here and pull teeth to get information.

    1 You state that you have aftermarket rear speakers, subs and amp.

    Problem: You don't state what's hooked to where, nothing

    Problem: Your new amp is "shot"

    Now based on the little information you have given, I can't tell you the amp is shot. I can tell you that I have had literately dozens of people come to me to tell me their amp is shot only to find they had the box sliding around in the trunk and the remote turn on wire, one of the power wires, or it slid into something and broke the RCS's or damaged/knocked out the fuse.

    Need Moar info, is I think what the kids say.

    When I go the car the person that had it before me had it professional installed. The amp that was in it. Was bad because it keep blowing fuses. The amp I put in would not run the sub or the rear Speakers. I know its not the subs I hooked them to my home radio. They work. The have rca cable running from amp to rear deck speakers.

    What about your remote turn on and power wire fuse for the amp up front by the battery? What amp did you have and what amp do you have now. Model numbers please? Also typically RCA's are not connected to speaker level outputs (your rear speakers). If your old amp had line level inputs and the new amp doesn't then that's not correct. You would need a high to low level converter.

    The remote turn on is hooked to the radio fuse. the one for the battery is a 50 amp fuse. The amp that was in it is XA-800I. The one that is now in it is autotek ATA800.2

    Another question I have is how do you have the amp connected to the speakers and what is their impedance, are they dual or single voice coil. If the previous amp failed then perhaps it was driving a load that is to low. Your amp is only 2 Ohm stable and if you are driving it bridged into both speakers and they are not 8 ohms then that amp will fail as well.
