You either need to connect both sets of speakers or connect a remote wire to trigger it to turn on.

That is true, but you have the magic box so your signal is too low. You need the remote turn on.

When I had the PBR300x2 I wasn't using the magic box, still needed the REM wire. Here's a easy way to do it, plugs right into the power connector.
