just wild guess could be they had an amp wired to radio (we call those hu) to power the speakers and when they pulled amp they didn't re wire speakers to the hu.. either way could just be speakers unhooked or amp on hu is fried or they coulda removed all the speakers..

Hu shouldn't be hooked up to the ignition. Those two big black wires/harnesses you described earlier are from the factory radio/cd player.

Might need to go into Hu and turn on the HU amps' internal power.

Start from scratch...remove all the wiring, carefully/perhaps disconnect the battery so you don't have more problems, and start again. If you're worried about or know the wiring is wrong why screw around with it.
