Alpine AUX in produces almost no sound



I am installing a mini itx computer in my car and went to wire up the
audio the other day.

I ran the minjack to rca line into the back of my Alpine 9845. There
are only two sets of RCA plugs behind the HU. One labeled for front
speakers and the other labeled for rear/subs. Since I am running subs
already, I just plugged the RCA cable into the remaining plugs.

I turned the Aux option on in my HU and starting playing some music. I
could just barely hear some audio. I messed with all volume settings on
both my HU and computer. It is as if the internal HU amp is not working
for Aux.

In the past, I have experienced this issue with trying to hook wires to
the output rca's of a vcr, not the input. Are the rca's behind the head
unit just for output. With no other visible connection on the HU, where
else would I plug my computer audio into. I did try the rear/sub jacks
as well but to no avail.

I am not in a position to buy another amp either. Does anyone have any
idea as to what the problem is?
