There's a pink wire on the factory radio harness.. It needs switched power to power up this little crossover thing.
Just hook the remote wire or any switched power to it.

The pink wire is the power antenna control (Firebirds only). If you have a premium 10-speaker audio system then the amp powers the two sail panel speakers (beside the rear seat). The amp doesn't require a remote turn-on wire like most aftermarket amps - it uses signal sensing to activate.
Check the RADIO ACCY fuse in the dash fuse panel. That's the one that protects the amp.

I had the same problem in my car..
I don't have a factory amplifier or power antenna. The pink wire is still there and it goes to a module in the bottom of the right sail panel. It needs power for the sail panel speakers to play.
I would check both suggestions. Good luck.

If you have the premium 10-speaker system (door mids and tweeters, sail panels, and hatch mids and tweeters) then you do have an amp - that "module" in the right side sail panel below the speaker next to the rear seat cushion is the factory amp. If you have the base speaker configuration (4 speakers - doors and sail panels only) then everything is powered of the head unit and there is no "module" in the sail panel.
