Help me get my Tunes back

Installed a kenwood indash dvd/cd player in my car today. First, since im still a little kid, i just wanted to hook everything up and see that it worked so i plugged it all up and set things in just to see if it did, and it did. The catcher is the unit i purchased has an external brain which i just held close enough to the dash to plug it in because the harness from my original head unit (also Kenwood) would only reach out through the dash 6 inches or so. After i established that everything was in working condition, sound, dvds, cds, tuner, navigation... everything worked. So i set everything aside and used the harness extention provided with the unit, and ran the wires under the carpet out under my passenger seat, spliced in all the speakers; yes i matched colors, yes i used crimp/heatshrink connection, and wrapped it all with elecrtrical tape. (ive installed plenty of headunits so dont assume im an idiot) Now, newly installed, everything turns on perfect, but no sound will project through any speaker. I checked all speaker wires, all grounds, all connections... solid, no problem... The only two wires i did not use on the new harness was a blue one, designated for a power antena which i do not have, and a brown one that controls tHE mute option if was to have a built in telephone or somethin.... if i had not connected a set of speaker wires well enough, that speaker would not have worked, but the others still would.... all six speakers plus a subwoofer have zero sound.... ANY IDEAS???
