help? - stereo conversion

[John Cunningham <johnc@together.net>]

trying to mind-meld an old Alpine head I had lying around with the stock
speaker setup in the CQ.

most everything is cool, front speakers work, bogus radio reception
stayed inside the Weisbaden, yay.

Problem:  amplified back speakers.

have the pre-amp outs from the Alpine wired to the inputs for the rear
setup but no sound.  i suspect there is some power feed i have to send
back there in order to turn them on when the head comes on, but can't
figure out which wires it is.  maybe i should just start sending 12v
down random wires and see what happens?  ;^)  Bentley wiring diagram
isn't really helpful enough for my simple mind, mentions the auto check
system but not exactly whether it might be affecting my problem.

anybody BTDT?  don't want to send amp'd signals to the rear and don't
want to ditch the amp/speaker combo (and yeah i know it's nothing
exciting, but it's whats in the budget)
