Car stereo issues

So I am pretty much a newbie when it comes to car stereo wiring stuff.

So my problem is I took my my infinity basslink out to clear some trunk space for my move. The speakers worked fine for 2 weeks then all of a sudden I couldn't get any sound. I was thinking it was because I didn't have an amp hooked up anymore but the speakers worked for 2 weeks after I took it out. I have all the wires electrical tapped. And I changed the fuse for the speakers. Would anyone know how I could get sound back.

FYI the Basslink also stopped working so I can't just install that back on. Had to do with some kind of fuse inside that apparently blows out after 3-4 years. Suppose to be an easy fix but I don't want to deal with that.

Any help would be great.

Recheck your connections! Even thou they are taped the wires could of come lose. Best to use wirenuts and tape or crimp on connections. I'd try looking at your connections first thing thou.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm having troubles picturing exactly what you're speaking of. Is it just the rear speakers or all speakers? Also did anything happen when they cut out, or did they just not come on one day when you turned on the car?

Answers to those should make it a bit more specific, but for now I'd have to agree with 2407WRX. Check those connections and while you're there at the connections I'd throw some crimps on the wires. If the wires behind your deck are taped as well I would check to make sure those didn't come loose either.

This is your problem right here. Take everything apart and do it right this time, otherwise have fun chasing gremlins.
