New Stereo

[cullen5998]

I bought a new stereo but there is no sound.
Where is the speaker fuse and how would i know if it was blown?
I have a gpx

there isn't a speaker fuse.

What stereo is it, and did you try playing a CD in it?

What did you use to fit it and was there a conventional stereo fitted there before?

Thats the stereo. It has power going to it, everything works but no sound.
I used the ISO lead to fit it. It fitted very easily no modifications were needed.
The previous stereo that was in it the sound went in it but i thought it was just the stereo as it was old. It was the original stereo i think.
I will try a cd in a minute

You'll need to determine if the wiring or speakers is at fault.
Either your speaker cabling is shot or all speakers are screwed, both fairly unlikely.

Have you got a spare speaker you can use to connect up to one of the channels? (need to break into loom). Alternatively, run a wire from one of the front channels to a one of the existing speakers.

Take a look at the rear speakers from the boot - are they connected up?

I looked at all the wiring that i could see and it all seems connected up properly,took it all apart and connected it up again but now i have no power in the stereo either.
i disconnected the battery while i was disconnecting and reconnecting all the wires.
I didnt really want to go cutting the loom so im going to bring it to a friend tomorrow who knows a bit more than me.

you could try unplugging the speaker block and just wire one speaker to one of the outputs (eg. terminals 1 and 2 on block B) and see if you get sound.
