no sound out of speakers...headunit still on

[jerZey]

i just removed my 4 channel amp because it overheated and it was connected to my 4 component speakers. I rehooked the 4 speakers up to the internal amp in my headunit and it sounded fine. So i decided to go for a drive and i turn it up to about 60% power and the speakers all shut off. I have a separate amp for my sub and that was still playing music. The headunit was still on. its just there was no sound at all coming out of the speakers. I checked the fuse in the back of the headunit as well as the car fuses and they are all fine. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

you could have a shorted connection at the headunit or at the speakers. Hard to tell from here.

with a dmm, either that or you burned it up because of the ohm load, if it wasn't correct...but I dunno with the info you have us.

the speakers were directly connected to the headunit for a month or 2 before i purchased the amp the just overheated. So i can't see it burning out now. What is a dmm?
