Default install a new stereo

hello all, i have a 94 12 valve with which i just started doing some work on. I am sort of turning it into a welding/mechanics vehicle and its turning out pretty decent. The inside of the cab is torn up a bit from years of abuse and that is slowly coming back together as well. I was in the process of installing a new stereo and ran into a prob. The truck has the infinty sound system in it and the deck is a kenwood, just a regular cd,ipod,amfm thing with the normal stereo hookups. I got it all hooked up and got all the wires spliced good and tight and nothing loose. When i turned the key on there was only sound coming from the front left speaker and nowhere else. It seems as though i experienced this same problem a time before and took it to a stereo shop to get corrected, however i dont exaclty remeber what they told me they did to fix it. I do remember something about a wire that had to be spliced back into the harness or something being that it has the infinty speaker system. If anybody knows about this could you please help. I have searched inside the dash and am not missing any wires and it is grounded to the ground coming out of the pickups radio harness.

The Infinity system has another relay to power the amps in the doors. There is a light green wire behind the deck area than needs to be hooked up to your blue remote wire. I think this is the problem you are experiencing.

well that is what i had done i thought, after your suggestion i got back into it and got to looking and my remote wire from the deck was not putting any power out, so i found a const. p wire that was and connected it in that place. Now she works good thanks i appreciate it.
