Help! The audio in my truck is gone...

[ahstanford]

Hello everyone,

I recently installed new speakers in the doors of my truck.

Two days ago I woke up and the battery in my truck was dead. (a common problem, unrelated to the audio) I got my buddy to bring his jumper box over and jump me.

The truck started up, no problem but the audio has been gone since. The radio turns on and appears to be playing as normal - but when you turn the volume up you hear a small cracking from the speakers one time and then nothing.

I'm not sure what it could be... can anyone lend me some advice?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

maybe shorting out.

What would I do to determine if that is the problem and/or fix it?

What makes you think that's a necessary or logical suggestion?
