Default Messed up wiring. No sound.

I read the stickies and I can't find what applies to my situation. I had a single channel to a sub and everything was fine. I go to add a 4 channel and now I'm getting no sound on any speakers or sub. I don't know if maybe I messed up following the diagram of jumping wires on the stock amp or what. So on the oem harness I followed the guides of jumping this wire to that wire amd if it was right front positive I ran it to my 4 channel repeating the process for all 4 speakers and channels. Idk if I didn't jump it right because I used these little clips you popped onto the wire and then run a spade off that too the amp. My HU is telling me there is a problem on the speaker wiring. Leaving the monsoon plugged in or unplugged changes nothing. Can someone please help?

Having it hooked up that way wasn't turning amps on even though I verified they had power. I disconnected all the speaker connections from the 4 channel to the stock amp and now everything is working. Is there anyway to tell what I wired wrong from the stock harness to the 4 channel?

Okay I'm making more headway on this I THINK, I keep reading through these stickies and I think I wired this so wrong and misunderstood what that other thread was a out. So thanks to whitebirds write up I believe that the system was 8 channel. 4 for the front and hatch and 4 for the rear "sub" since they are DVC. I have swapped all the speakers already and I don't think my rear are DVC but honestly can't remember and that's beyond the point. So to get this to work on my 4 channel I could run the front of 2 channels by tapping into the output wires of the stock amp and then I THINK reading the diagrams I can then connect the rears still to 2 channels by connecting them together like I did earlier but with this better write up.

Well I think I got it. I'm still a little disappointed because I was hoping for more from my speakers but oh well it's all good
