2017 Nissan Armada SL

Long story my wife had her car battery die while I was out of state at work and a neighbor jumped the car for her. The guy put the jumpers on backwards apparently for a few seconds before my son realized what he had done and told him. Put them on the right way and the car starts, but no speaker sound. I get home swap out new battery and check the fuses and the 2 BOSE amp fuses are blown. Go to replace them and both blow. Disconnect the battery and try again and they both blow once powered up. I don’t have the BOSE system I’m guessing just stock from the head unit. So does this mean my head units fried? No engine codes, no other blown fuses that I saw, and everything else works fine just no speakers. Can’t really find anything about this anywhere. Take all the help or troubleshooting tips anyone can give! Thanks!

Edit: just checked the windows sticker apparently I did have the Bose speaker package but no idea where the amp is located.

It's behind the righthand cargo finisher and lower rear ventilation duct. Not simple to get at. However, those two fuses (5 and 8) are parallel supplies for the Bose that don't power anything else, so it's a safe bet the Bose is fried.

Thanks again man I would have never found that amp PITA to get to. Bought one for $150 off of eBay just swapped it out and put some 10amp fuses (ran out of 15amp ones the other day troubleshooting and blowing them lol) hooked the battery back up and bam had music again! Gonna get some more 15amp fuses in the morning but your little bit of guidance helped me out for sure, thanks!
