Default No sound comming from subs?

Bare with me on this, I've only setup maybe a handful of car stereos.
94 Pontiac Firebird
My current setup is

Front Speakers: Kicker 08KS600
6-1/2" 2-way 195w car speakers

Rear Speakers: Audiobahn AS62V
6-3/4" 90w 2-way car speakers

Dual 12" Subs: Sony Xplod XS-L124P5BESRP: Capless Subwoofer

1000 watt Sony Xplod Amp

Not sure on model # for Alpine head unit.
With 4 Gage wiring.
Amp power light turns on.

1st Problem:
I am getting little to no sound out of subs. I can feel it pulsing though.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, rechecked all the wires many times, all the fuses are brand new, correct watt and good.
Not many options on the sub so I dont think I have any of the settings wrong.
Keep in mind I just got the car and the aftermarket head unit was already installed.

2nd Problem:
Ever since I disconnected the back seat speakers I cannot get any speaker to work now.

I will try to get more information about the parts and maybe some pictures. Would rather fix this myself then take it to a shop, has been days that I've been trying to fix this!
any suggestions would be much appreciated

It was either faultywire connections or my ground wasnt stable. Either way, reshaved/cleaned my ground, and put new connectors on my wires and seems to work better now.
Guess some times you just have to quad check everything
