AB new head unit problems HELP!

hey guys wondering if you can help i have searched everywhere and no one has this problem

I installed an alpine deck its not my first time (4th or 5th install) and i have power, grounded, illumination, the ipod and cd are being read but there is no sound from speakers the volume is up, not muted the speakers were working before the new deck and still work when i swap back in the original deck all speaker wires are proper (solid with solid and striped with striped ) the power ant (solid blue) is to the remote (striped blue)
i even went thought the manual and turned on and off POWER IC (internal amp) no change also reset the unit no change wondering of anyone know of this problem and also there is was looks like a second antenna coming from the chassis harness but in stead of male jack there is also a female jack any info will be helpful
thanks in advance

Exactly.
you are defeating the purpose of putting in a Higher wattage amp by using the stock system to drive your speakers.Also the 20 year old amps are crap!
run wire to each speaker.
The passenger side Front will have t obe separated from the Enclosed amp.The rears need to come out of the buckets and get wired directly to the speakers themselves.
