Broken radio type stuff

Okay, stereo worked. Duno what I've changed since then, but it's not working now.

Alright.

Stereo that was in it worked.
I replaced door speakers. Still worked.
I did a bunch of other stuff, still worked.

Put everything back together. Didn't try it, it was always on standby when I started it.
I decided to put my head in. Wired it up, and power is coming to power the speakers, but none of the speakers will work.

what could I Have bumped to screw it up?

I didn't change anything for the power setup from my 95. They should be the same?

The head is putting power out, but the speakers are not working. I cut 2 wires and connected them to a speaker after the head, and it played sound/music. (Pink floyd actually)
So something is unhooked somewhere.
Do you mean there is an amp after the head, then it goes to the speakers? where is that located?

I'm honestly not sure where the stock amp but I know that some trucks came with a stock amp. I think it was a blue wire with a white stripe for the amp.

I could be totally wrong, just tryin to throw some ideas out there for you.

I'll look at the old harness and see if I missed a wire.
