Audio Newb needs help Please

Hi,

So I bought a car with a system in it that I enjoyed, but it was time to upgrade so the original system was a clarion arx5470 head unit with a denon dce 2155 graphic equalizer. The original head unit only had acc 12v, constant 12v, ground, and antenna hooped up then fed the equalizer through rga cables. All I did was relocate the graphic equalizer so I extended the wires and installed a new head unit a sony MEX-BT2800. I found the wiring diagrams online and wired in acc 12v, constant 12v, ground, and power antenna. My problem is that now the equalizer which feeds power to the speakers and subs only gets power when the head unit is in tuner(radio) everything works fine in tuner but when I try to use it in any other mode, cd, aux, bluetooth the equalizer looses power and I get no sound. Ive been racking my brain can someone give me a suggestion?

help greatly appreciated

you invert the remote wire (blue/white) and the antenna one (blue) from the deck

the blue/white that come from the deck need to be connected to the ACC of the EQ, now it's probably the blue.

Relay, what's hook to it?

yup change the wire that's connected to 6(antenna) to 5 (amp remote) and it will work.
