Exclamation all speakers stopped working !! please help

NEED HELP W/ ALL SPEAKERS PLEASE

So i ripped the panels off my 04' civic thinking this would be a 20 min. process. Nope. After i got the door panels off (just the front 2 door speakers) then i had to pry off the factory door speakers(didnt know this was normal btw) and found out I had to just drill mine into the metal somewhere i could. tiiiiight. so after searching for someone w/ a drill and drilling my holes to mount my speakers, I finally get them wired in & mounted, and start up the civic. The only thing that works is the subs, they go along with the beat & all. My amp is good, obviously, but ALL of my door speakers stopped working. Now there's a few things im going to go try after i post this----1] on the driver side speaker i possibly could have switched the wires----2]unconnect battery for like a 1/2 hour and then go reconnect & try again. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED GREATLY, FOR REAL SON.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Speaker wiring shorted to body ground could kill all outputs, so might a plain short in a pair of speaker wires.

Go back to each speaker you messed with.

Check if you got a wire pinched.

Disconnect one and try the radio. If it makes noise again, then that speaker was shorted. Try the next one.

Re: all speakers stopped working !! please help

allright I'm on my way to go try that right now. thanks for the quick reply mane. i should work @ the Hona assembly plant, the # of times I've taken these apart and put them back together. Also, I'm not sure if you know this but there isnt much room in the speaker "hole" i guess because you have to make it. you basically tear the old speakers out & then make a pair of 6.5"s work. do you think the magnet on my 6.5"s touching metal could possibly cause any problems? thanks

Magnet won't, that would just make them buzz or something, not kill the output from the radio

buy speakers you messed with.

Yes it seems to be problem caused by shorted wire. You need to check it deeply as it can cause complete speaker damage.

If the speakers are twisted even slightly they will short and protection on amp kicks in.
