by "sub" do you mean aftermarket subwoofer or the 6.5" sail panels? if aftermarket did you connect the RCA's and remote wire, which you likely used to wire to the power antenna.

the blue wire on the Sony radio wire harness, that you likely wired to the blue wire on the harness adapter needs to connect to the subwoofer amp remote wire (which might not be blue depending on the "amp install kit" used, as for the RCA's I assume you know what they are, they hook to either the subwoofer out RCA ports of if those don't exist the rear out RCA ports. Post up the model number of your Sony unit and we can look up the unit and I can point out where said connections are on the headunit.

I suspect that the original sub amp was connected through a LOC rather than RCA cables because it would have been obvious that any RCA cables behind the head unit needed to be plugged in when he was swapping. Connecting the blue amp remote turn-on wire may be all that's necessary to get it working again.
