Speakers wont work through line driver! Ugh

Ok I just spent like 5 hours running new RCA's, putting in a relay, running new power wires and other stuff but it was triggered by me getting my audiobahn LD today, except everything but the LD works! Im using it to drive the RCA's going to my speaker amp and when i try to power the amp through it I get nothing but static. The unit itself is on and says 12.5v on the LED, I did **** up a little because I plugged one RCA in the input and one in the output, but realized it quickly and fixed it after turning my car on for a few seconds (i always do something simple stupid, its just how things go for me). So what do you guys think? My speakers do work when I just run an RCA from my EQ to the amp.

Alex to my rescue again =P the LD is showing 12.5 when its on, my amp doesn't go into protection either, it just turns on like normal and only plays very very low static. I got the LD from zeb.com on ebay, pretty reputible and they're autherized audiobahn dealers too. It must be the unit itself because when i run the RCA going to its output straight to the amp instead I get music, otherwise nothing. I really don't think acidentally hooking up one of the RCA's to the amp output could mess it up, but the fuse is fine and I dont know what else to do as far as checking other things at this point.
