When installing a new head unit in my car (topic) I had to remove a clip with a bunch of wires jumped between each other, to put the speaker clip in. Now the back speakers don't work at all. So I figured that I would connect all the left + wires together and the left - wires together since this is how it looked like they were jumped. Still nothing....

Any input will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Dude, don't connect speaker wires together in parallel to a head unit. You'll fry the deck in no time flat with low impedance. Disconnect the wires you put together. I don't understand what you mean by a "clip" and how a bunch of wires seemed to be jumped to each other. Did you buy a wiring harness with that deck you're installing?

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Dont these cars have a factory amplifier under the driver's seat? If so, you can run speaker wire from the outputs on your deck and hook up to the output side on the factory amplifier going to the rear speakers.

Here is a picture of the factory clip I removed

There is also a square adapter but I think that goes to the CD changer.
