no sound, components

Ugh....everytime you do a big install surely somting is going to go wrong, I just wished i missed the remote wire or somting, thats allways easy.So tonight, after about the 24th hour (no joke, yesterday and today) I finaly got done installing everything, 2 sets of componets, amp, distro block, SoundControl EQ and ran new wires for everything. Durring troubleshooting i ran the rca cables to both the EQ, and then straight to the amp to see whats up, both i get the same results, slightly diffrent. When though the EQ (RCAs from HU to EQ connected....RCAs from EQ to AMP disconected[per instructions]), no sound (which is expected), but there is a verry verry faint "clicking" sound from the tweeters, but not all, only like 3 of them. So i then try to tinker with the EQ per the instrutcions messing with the dials tryinto to get my lights. the EQ says "starting witht he EQS "front input" gain control, increase or decrease the "Input Gain" control until the "Overload" LED begins to flicker steadily with the music. Do the same for the "Rear Input". at this point i get no lightsonce done with that...I do the same with the gain knob which controls the output voltage and will get a 2v 5v or max light on, for the front inputs, the 2v light would flicker, wouldnt go higher than that, the rear, i got no lights.At this point im wized, and am not sure whats up, So i then hook up the other side of the RCAs which will now connect the HU, to the Eq, to the AMPs, and should get some sound, well I ONLY get audio from 1 (ONE) tweeter. so 1 speaker out of 8 its good. I then disconect the RCAs from HU to EQ, adn then connect HU straight to AMPs, so now the eq is out of the equation, again, same results.Now back when i started all this, I noticed I had the RCAs swaped around, rember they are directional, so i swaped them around to make them right, prior to this swap, the right rear tweeter was the one to get the sound, now from this swap, its the front left. again, all with the same results of zero sound.There are all the details i can think of, if anyone has anything it would be greatly appreciated. This has literly been all I have done the last 2-3 days since ive been out of town for a month, and this sucks...ugh***Another question....when installing the Crossovers, I have the connections right where its mids and tweets to the crossovers, but the crossovers to amp, it has both + and - for tweets and mids....but it says to only install a wire for + and - for the mids, does that make sense? that was somting i questioned while installing.-I still have the stock harnes hooked up since it apeared that the Power and Ground are being supplyed from that harnes. All i did was disconect the RCAs from that harnes, and connected the pre outs to the RCAs for the componets.**Other things I have tried**Re grounding the amp for the componetschecking all connections of componets to the amps.check grounding of HU (dunno why that would matter)
