just the audio system died?

maybe some wiring in the dash came loose? could be a remote line or RCA. Also did you check all the fuses on the amplifier(s). could be a number of things. Could also be a ground issue. i wouldn't rule out anything yet, accept what you've checked - and i would double check those too.

loose power or ground connection...if you twisted the wires together, electric taped it, and called it a day, you should redo it and use proper hardware especially on power and ground because those wires generate heat and will easily loosen electric tape.

I spent about an hour looks through all the wirings and i got nothing, i didnt twist and use electric tape method, i actually soldier it and use shirking tube, so yeah im totally lost. Question, i was looking through the factory service manual, and i was wondering if any of the relays got fried? its getting dark now so i cant check, but my question is, is there and fuses or relays that has to do with the audio inside the engine bay. thanks again

do you have access to a multimeter? If so check for voltage on the power wire, if nothing shows up then it must be a fried relay or fuse. If there is then its your head unit. Remember to turn key to acc/on before you perform the test.

you posted the same thing twice at different times?

I think that it might be a ground were do you have it grounded now??
