Default no power to radio

i was moving my amps around my trunk yesterday, didnt unplug any wires at all. i noticed one of the amps, the ground wire was off so i put it back on. i go to turn my radio on and my radio has no power. i checked the fuse under the dash, it was popped so i changed it. still nothing. i checked the fusebox next to the battery for the radio back up fuse, that was popped so i changed it also. still no power to the radio....

any help ........

i hate stereo systems.

you should have a inline one from your power wire to the amp and one on the back of the amp and some amps have fuses in side of them g/l

the amps fuses shouldnt have anything to do with the radio not getting power

did you check the fuses again after you tried to turn the radio on? If they popped again you have a short somewhere. You'll need to go thru and check to see if any wires are loose or not properly conected. hope you have electrical tape... just my .02.

Check the fuse in the engine bay, its a 7.5 amp. Its called radio backup, or just backup.

aftermarket or stock radio?

if its aftermarkt there is usually an inline filter on the one or both of the power wires running to the head unit.
