Sounds like two different problems to me.

First off the rear speaker. It's either a bad connection/loose wire or that channel on the deck's amp is fried. Assuming you'r already sure it's not the speaker itself.

Second, your MTX amp. Test to see that your power and ground wire at the amp are active. If so, there's a problem somewhere in the remote turn-on. Could be pinched somewhere, could be in the deck's harness. If you can't find it, you can always run the remote from the amp to the switched power wire at the deck instead. Only thing now is, your amp will turn on everytime your car does....which really isn't a major problem unless you have engine noise.

i took my cd player back out this morning and hooked the RL comming from the cd player to the RR coming from my speaker and it worked..so i took the wires out of the RR on the deck and then put them back in the right way and it worked so i got it fixed..i guess i was frustrated and tired when i first started at 1 this morning with jasons car and we had to re-wire almost the whole damn car..then started mine at 2:30 this morning and didnt get done but when i woke up and started again it was easy...i might post some pics of everything in a little bit

as for the amp maybe 300-500 rms i would rather have a sq system then a spl system...so far everything is decent..jus need a little bit more bass
