    2000 Grand Prix, bose sound. Last night everything worked fine. Today, radio works but every speaker is dead silent. Tried both my aftermarket and stock head units with the same results. Fuses are good. Anyone have any ideas? Amp took a ****?

    Ah, found it...wire that probably sends power to the speakers was spliced for the aftermarket radio and was touching metal behind the radio.

    You should do all the connections with small wire nuts or solder them/shrink tube them. Peace of mind

    I had the aftermarket radio installed by ABC Warehouse so they did all the wiring from the connector to the radio. I just need to solder the "speaker" wire cause it seems it still has a loose connection even after using electrical tape.
