Default Mach 460 issues, help please!!!!!!!

I have a 1998 gt mustang, and i have the Mach 460 stereo system in it, i bought the wiring harness and hooked it up, i unpluged the black harness inside the dash and pluged it into the harness that i bought and i took the stock harness that comes out of the stock head unit and put it into the new harness that i bought, it works fine but the 2 lower speakers in the front and back DONT WORK!!! so only the highs are working please help your fellow mustang owner out

You need to get a signal to the subs by way of the small black square hrns that was plugged into the back of the deck. I used the subwoofer RCA out on my alpine and use a line driver to boost the signal up to where the factory jbl amp is used to getting. If you don't have the sub out on the deck you can use the speaker out on the deck. With the rca sub out you get a little more adjustability of the sub.

the small one with 8 pins. You can use a LOC off of the amplified speaker level outputs, but there is a chance that it will be too weak of a signal for the factory amp. If that is the case then you can use the speaker wires.

there should be a blue wire on the back of the deck and on the power hrns. It tells the amp to turn on.
