Car Stereos: Car Stereo just stopped working!, car stereo system, internal amplifier

Question
Hey i have a 2001 grand am se and im looking to find out how to fix my car stereo. System was working fine the night b4, nothing was messed with, but when i got in my car the next morning the system didnt give off any sound, it just said "BOSE" and when i turned up the volume nothing came out the speakers... everything works on the deck, can turn up base, fade to the rear, etc all those things. Volume just doesnt work..fuses were already replaced an everything, Just wont work! PS: Put in new rear 6x9 JBL speakers a month b4 and had no troubles. Can you please HELP! THANKS

Answer
Devon, Double check the wiring on the 6x9 speakers and be sure there is no bare wires.  It sounds like there has been a short somewhere and it has blown the internal amplifier.  If so, the short must be found, and the headunit will need to be repaired at an electronics repair shop.  If the wiring looks good on the 6x9s, you might check the drivers side door jamb wiring.  The door jamb wiring is the most common place for a short to occur.  Hope this helps, Scott
