All speakers stopped working?

No Power To My Amp or Subs? Whats Wrong??

Most likely a shorted speaker wire. If any of the speaker wires are shorted to ground, it will kill the sound to all speakers as the head unit's amplifier shuts down to protect itself.

The easiest way to troubleshoot is with an ohmmeter or continuity tester. Disconnect your head unit, then check each speaker wire's resistance to ground. If you find continuity to ground on any speaker wire, look for a pinch in the wire at the head unit, and inspect the connections at the speaker itself (especially if the speakers are after-market replacements). A terminal connection coming loose from a speaker and touching metal in the door would cause your problem.
