Default Bose and Subwoofer

I installed a Basslink in the trunk using the speaker output from the rear speakers (speaker input used). Question no.1, which wire is the neg and which is the pos? Usually, the smaller connector is negative and striped wire is negative but it is backwards. Question no.2, when I turn off the radio, the Basslink makes low "very loud" bass and stays that way until I disconnect the speaker input wires. Am I missing something? I disconnected one speaker and it is ok. The unit works great on my other vehicle.

2nd that. There is "pre amp level" at the amp. Just patch into them. Will sound cleaner.
