CD Player plays... but with no sound... ???

Hey I just put a Panasonic CQ-DF583U mp3 player in my car... it worked fine for the past 2 weeks... but then 2day on my way 2 soccer tryouts in the middle of a song it just cut off... i figured it skipped or somethin but i was on a smooth road... then it just never came back on... i took the cd out and put it back in and still no sound... even switched cd's... turned volume full blast... nothing... i figured maybe a speaker wire came loose but... all 4 speakers at the same time?? could this be a problem with the internal amp? i'm thinkin about just takin it back cuz it hasn't been 30 days yet... plus i have the 2 year warranty so ya know... what ya think??

Does the radio work? If it does then take it back and get it replaced. If the radio doesn't work then it could be a wiring issue. Some head units have a seperate connector for the speakers, if your HU is so equipped it could have come loose. Also a single speaker wire grounding out can trip a unit's internal protection that prevents it from burning up. If everything works except there is no sound I would think it's one of those two. If you had it installed at the place where you bought it have them look at it since it's more than likely an installation issue.

i think it's my speakers/wiring... i know the left front one hasn't worked since i got it... and the back left one is blown... and when my g/f shut my car door last nite kinda hard the sound cut out again... so i think it's the wiring... so sometime this week i gotta figure out how to take my door panels off and then check all the wiring

door panels? i dont have speakers in my doors, do you? if i was you i would just buy a set of good aftermarket speakers (check ebay, they have good cheap ones) and just put in some new speakers. but before you get too far with your speakers i would hook them up to an ohm meter after the head unit just to make sure its your speakers and not the deck. good luck
