Question
Is it possible to tell which amp is which and yes i did get the radio from a junk yard but i also have a aftermarker radio that i hooked up and it still did the same thing (i did hook up the blue wire with white stripe for amp) I am not a pro at this car sound stuff but i know a little, so if this is a wire problem should i just take it to a professional or would recommend taking care of it myself.

-----Question-----
I have a 95 ford taurus sho and i am having a lot of problems with the sound system that i cannot figure out. I have a stock tape/cd player and everytime i try to play the radio or anything i cant hear anything at all. If i turn the volume all the way up i can hear just a tiny bit of music but thats about it. I have changed the head units to see if maybe that was the problem but that wasnt it then i changed the amp in the trunk that didnt do it either. I unplugged both back speakers in the back and i got nothing. I wonder if im doing something wrong or maybe you just know something i dont please help me out this is driving me crazy. Last question behind the back seat there is two amp looking type things i changes the one to the right i was wondering what is the other one to the left is that another amp that maybe needs replacement or is it something completely different.
-----Answer-----
i amplifier is  for all 4 speakers and the other amplifier for the jbl woofer system

but it sound like a wiring problem  or a bad radio
