Exclamation put in new h/u now sub isnt working

so i put in my new hu today its a pioneer hu so heres my issues.i used the metra 70-2103 harness..now when i got it none of the wires matched the stock harness so i repined it to the diagram i found on here.then i ran the red wire straight to the red wire off the factory hu and ran the blue wire to the pink wire.

so all my speakers work but my stock sub isnt working and also the radio constantly stays on so if someoone can tell me what the issue is that would be great

I wired the red wire into my fuse box

I also cut the pink.wire and hooked it up to the blue/white wire on the hu

I think its on ill have to check in the morning so I don't wake people.

And was I supposed to repin the metra harness?

no if its working now its working. im guessing metra pinned it wrong to begin with. just odd bc ive never seen it before but very possible not "surprising" either

did u check to see if you have a high pass and or if its on?

like if i turn the loudness on...cause its a pioneer deck then the sub hits harder but it sounds like ****


like when i got the harness the black wire was on the left side of the plug but on the factory plub it was on the right so i repined it ill find the diagram i used so you can see if its right

i just though you might have wired it out of phase if you did the pins wrong... try balancing the sound all the way left or right and see if the sub gets louder or quieter

then yes its out of phase. so you need to switch one of the rear speakers polarity (pos/neg) and your going to be good to go

idk the pin out so idk what was messed up but if you want to technically get it correct the stock colors are
Right dark blue+ light blue -
left brown+ yellow -
