Well I guess I will get a move on it and grab a new amp. I did try to fade it all the way to the rear and didn't hear anything... that is the first thing I played with.. but now my car is not running I can barely hear it.

Thanks for your help!

The OEM amp is bi-power for rears; Hi + Low. You probably plugged in the Hi (low?) input and speakers are fine. You have three choices;

1. Go find OEM rears, connect to OEM amp
2. Buy a 4-channel and replace OEM amp
3. Connect Low (hi?) output of OEM amp to those fosgate 6x9's and call it a day.
