Just put in the Pioneer DEH-P55BT headunit. 
 
Problem is that the amp is turning on put there is no output from the speakers. 
 
This setup has bein working fine on my old headunit, soon as i put this in there is no audio comming from the speakers connected to the amp. 
 
Ant help on this?

can anyone else make sense of this? 
 
Setting the rear output and  
subwoofer controller  
This unit’s rear output (rear speaker leads out-  
put and RCA rear output) can be used for full-  
range speaker (R-SP :FUL) or subwoofer  
(R-SP :S/W) connection. If you switch the rear  
output setting to R-SP :S/W, you can connect  
a rear speaker lead directly to a subwoofer  
without using an auxiliar y amp.  
Initially, the unit is set for rear full-range speak-  
er connection (R-SP :FUL). When rear output is  
connected to full range speakers (when  
R-SP :FUL is selected), you can connect other  
full range speakers (P/O :FUL) or a subwoofer  
(P/O :S/W) to the RCA rear output.

i dont get what you mean.you will have a red plug and a black plug for the front and the same for the rear.with the lead that connects to your amp have you got the red plug going to the front and the blck going to the back.or are both red and black plugs going to the front or back?

so your running 4 inputs into the amp 
 
edit: 
go through exavctly what youve done? then check the menu on the headunit for subw gain, and check the gain on the amp
