Connecting subs to new HU

I am trying to connect my audiophile subs to my new DDX-7015 HU. I am using this to connect them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1

The HU wire harness works fine, but am having trouble with the 8 pin sub harness. Theres 2 rca (red and black) which go to the HU, and theres these two blue and white cables which I Dont know where to connect. It says it's for the "amp turn-on". The only thing I can think of is thats the power and should connect it to the yellow wire (the 12v thats powering the HU)

What you guys thinks? Also, I hope this is the right harness. I drive a 04 F-150 and the harness says "03-up"

There is a blue wire from the amp harness...you connect that to the blue and white wire from the back of your deck and you should be good to go.

Ok i conneceted one of the b/w cabels and it kinda works. It's doesnt sound all that great and every time i power up my truck, there's a loud pop coming from the sub. I connected the other b/w wire but it just wont't work at all.

Also, I noticed the wires in the harness I just got dont match up with the stock harness. mine goes: (x=wire, O=no wire)

X X O X
X X O X

Stock

Just take it into somewhere and ask them. Thats what I did with my system and it worked fine. Maybe you have a loose connection somewhere? I dunno. Sorry bro.
