Couple Questions...

First of all I haven't been on this forum in a long time due to me working so much but anyway...

I installed an aftermarket headunit and I was figuring out how to get the power antenna to work? I know it is a dumb question but I just figured I could just get a quick answer here..

Also, after installing the headunit, I just realized the midbass speakers in the doors do not work... is there an amp that I need to tap into to make that work? Are there wires that I just have to splice into to get it to work?

Thanks.

There should be an antenna out on your head unit which sends a 12v signal when it's on such that the antenna goes up.

You need the manual of your head unit + someone can tell you which color wire is the one from the car antenna. Usually you would use the wire from you head unit that is labeled "remote" or something, as it's the same wire that gets an amplifier to switch on when needed
