I just installed a amp and sub into a friends 98 Sunfire, and after I reconnected the battery, the stereo wont make any sound. What could be the problem?

thanks

The amp was a Rampage 240 watt, hooked up to a Roadmaster bass tube. I spliced into the rear speaker wires to hook up the amp. ran a power wire from the battery, and hooked upa power REM from the fuse in the fuse block for the radio.

Did you use a high to low converter to tap into the rear speakers and then go to rca. Also dose your remote wire turn on and off with the car. And when you say you get no sound do you get absolutely no sound from any speaker? And I assume you are using the factory radio and what model and year is the car?

It's a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire with a factory HU. I used the high input with just the wires. And there is absolutely no sound coming out of any of the speakers.

Have you tried to disconnect the high input from the amp and see if you get sound? Also check all the fuses both in the cabin and under the hood.

So if all you did was tap the rear speaker wires then you should still have sound comming from the front and rear speakers.Sounds as if your not telling us something?????From your post your telling us all you were doing is powering up just a Roadmaster bass tube.
You got me lost.

I've told you every thing i've done to it. Unless i forgot(which I haven't) something, thats everything i know.

We unhooked the battery and it has the "Theft Loc" but it never asked for the code to restart it.

If that helps anything.............
