[QUOTE="solidhadriel, post: 7831778, member: 643616"] Hey guys, I installed my sound system myself in my current car about 2 1/2 years ago. It was my first time installing a sound system with no prior background experience and somehow I managed to do it. Its been working great since then. Anyway, I recently dropped my car off to an autobody shop for some work, and upon picking it up, no sound could be heard through the stereo. I'm at a loss as to what's the problem is, so I'm coming for some help from you pros, to see if ya'll can shed some advice. My audio system was one of the highlights of my car, being able to enjoy music on my way to and from work. I miss it dearly.
