Default Need some stereo/wiring help..

Yesterday I was driving around as usual with my music cranked and the t tops off, pulled up to my girlfriend's house and shut it off to hang out for a bit. When I got back in the car the front speakers and tweeters didn't work anymore. I'm wondering if it could be a fuse somewhere, if something is up with the wiring, or if I need to go replace the speakers and tweeters :/ I need my music back guys! haha and I'm not to great with the whole wiring thing so hopefully some of you guys can help me out here!

Do you have the stock Monsoon system, or aftermarket?

Do the rear speakers still work? Or are you getting no sound at all?

I doubt it's a fuse. It also seems unlikely that both front speakers would blow simultaneously, woofers and tweeters. More likely the front channel output from the HU isn't making it to the amp. Are you still using the stock monsoon amp? If you have an aftermarket amp and HU, check the back side of the HU and make sure the RCAs aren't being pinched against the defrost duct. You really need to describe the system better to get effective help.

Edit: It could be a fuse on an aftermarket amp, but not likely if you're using the monsoon amp. You just need to tell us the whole setup. Amps, inputs, HU, speakers, everything.
