Q: Speakers/ new head unit

asked by on February 22, 2017

Idk if you would know the answer to this. My back speakers work with my stock radio but when I put my aftermarket pioneer radio in only the front speakers work. This is happening to my friend too. Should I wire my back speakers to the front ones to get them to work?
