You need to wire to the output side

They are right, the sub needs to be hooked to output. But if your amp has a sub out it needs to be a speaker out not an outpt for an amp unless your sub is self powered. in which case it will also have power connections for 12 Volts.

I don't know how your amp is set up because your typing sucks but this is how it should be. I'm guessing you have at least a 4 channel amp. This means you can wire 1 set of speakers and set them independently per channel. So you have 1 set of speakers and at least one sub. Ok.
You CAN wire your one set of speakers to 2 channels and bridge your 3rd and 4th channel to wire one sub. To clarify, channel 1 goes to front driverside speaker, channel 2 goes to front pass. side speaker. There should be a HPF, LPF and Full switch per channel. This is the amp's internal crossover. They stand for High Pass Filter, Low Pass Filter and Full (which means no filter at all). You want to set your speakers to High Pass filter or Full so that you get all the sound frequencies to your speakers. Now on channels 3 and 4, you can bridge it, meaning you can use a positve from one channel and a negative from th other to connect 1 sub so that you're making the most our of your amp. Set this to LPF (low pass filter) so that you ONLY get low frequencies to your subs. This is probably why you aren't getting any sounds to your subs because they are designed to ONLY play bass notes. Any high frequencies entering your subs will actually DAMAGE them.
Hope this helps.

You can't wire all of this stuff properly unless your amp is trimode capable and you buy an external crossover for your sub and speakers.

The audio device are bi-under pressure out. Are there plates between the terminals on the amp or the audio device? those would would desire to be bumped off. Set A on the amp would tension the tweaters, set B the bass. Left and suitable.

you need to wire it to an output. you use the high input section if you do not have any rca wires on your head unit!

Speakers are an output.

High input is for your tweeters and mids, low input is for subs.High input is not made for bass signals.
