[QUOTE="joeyjojojr, post: 837348, member: 560611"] Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum and I am in need of some assistance. I am not too familiar with car stereo installation and in fact did my first install a little over a month ago. I put in a new Alpine 9833 along with new front and rear speakers. I have yet to put in any sort of amps or subs due to lack of funding at this point. Everything was working great for about 2 1/2 weeks, but then when I drove my car again about a week later there was no sound at all coming from my speakers. I had done nothing to my car in that one week period. The head unit turns on and appears to playing the cd but there is no sound whatsoever. The preamp outputs still seem to work though because I tested them with some of my home theater equipment. In addition to that, when I hook up the factory radio, everything seems to work just fine. I think that maybe the connections on the rear speakers could have caused a short so I unhooked all the speakers and tested them one by one on the head unit, trying making sure there were no shorts, but still nothing seemed to work. Is it possible somehow fried the internal amp of the head unit, because I thought it would have some sort of protection against that. Do I just need to reset the head unit somehow or is it possible I blew a fuse somewhere. Sorry for the long post but I am terribly frustrated at this point and would appreciate any assistance at all.
