Speakers DIED :(

today when i turned into my work parking lot i hit a bump and all of a sudden all of my speakers went dead. I havent takin a look at it yet but i am guessing/hoping it is just a wire that came loose or something simple like that. I know that right now the back of my radio is a mess of wires so does anyone can tell me what exactly to look for first b4 i go lookin through there and mess more stuff up

Do you have an amp? because this happend to me one time when I hit a bump. The guy at total custom car audio told me that by hitting a bump some how caused the voltage to drop (I don't know why this happens) and the fuse in my amp blew.

so if your speakers are amped I would check your fuses first.

First check to make sure your head unit and amps power up. If something fails to power up, check the fuse, then the ground, then check for input voltage.

You probably blew a fuse or have a bad ground.

That stuff about voltage drops occuring when you hit a bump is Bullsh!t
