Alright, so after two days I finally got my amp installed and working properly, it sounds great, but for no reason the sound from CD's no longer works. It makes no sense. The radio works just fine and plays correctly, but CD's do not. The discs are spinning, the CD text shows up, it shows the seconds ticking by on the CD's properly, and I can skp tracks just fine. Everything seems to work except the sound coming from a CD. Is my CD player broken? Or is there something different you have to do with CD's vs. radio singnals for an amp? I'm new to this stuff so ANY advice would be helpful. I'd really hate to buy a new CD player or take it to get fixed but i'm out of options it seems. Thank You!
CD Player --> Sony CDX-CA700X (yes I know many of you will tell me to get something thats not sony crap, but we all have to live with some of our mistakes)
Amp --> Alpine 200 Watt 4 Ch MRPF240

Yes....... I know that's not a lizard.
Sounds like you wired the amp turn on to the power antena lead on the cd player It only sends power when the radio is on so when you switch to CDs it turns off the amp.
