Default No sound

I recently put in an aftermarket radio I had to hardwire it because the previous owner had cut the factory radio plug-in. It worked fine for her about two months now all of a sudden it will come on everything works but there’s no sound any ideas where to start?

Do you have amplifiers? If you do, make sure they are getting power.

Check the wiring... make sure nothing came loose.

I detest getting vehicles with the wires clipped. It's always difficult to get them rewired properly. Did you just fold the wires over each other and then tape them? It's possible one or more wires have come loose from road vibrations.
