Rear speakers not working?

Rear speakers not working?
My dad just got a 92 GXE. I just put a after market head unit in it today. I have no clue if the rear speakers worked before but now I am not getting any sound from them. I used a test meter and I am getting current coming from the deck and I am getting it on the other side of the harness as well. But when I test for current at the speakers I am not getting any. What gives? Is there a relay or fuse somewhere for the rear speakers? This is a non bose set up and the car looks new, the speakers are original and nothing has been tampered with. Can any one help me out? I would like to figure this out tomorrow and I really don't want to run new wires to the rear speakers. Thanks for any help.

Also would that amp be in the trunk or on top of the parcel shelf?

I recently put a new head unit in 1992 Max with same result. You need to make sure the blue accessary power wire is hooked up to the head unit because it powers the rear active speaker system. Without it the rear speakers don't get any current.

For future reference, I took the seats out, and I did not see anything that would be an amp. for this non bose system.

cardana24: I had the same problem a few months after I hooked up my sub, turned out the remote turn on wire (blue I think) that turned on the amp for the rear speakers had gotten a little messed up, have you checked that? It could also be the ground is acting up if the amp keeps buzzing and cutting out.
