re-check your wiring at the stereo, pics?
check the connectors to the speakers. something stupid.

Audio fuse not blown? (But that would also effect the headunit actually coming on)

your head unit itself took a crap on you and has some loose connections inside of it.

it might not be the head unit.
i have the same problem right now ive just been to lazy to fix it lol.
my wires for my speaker in my passenger door at times touch each other grounding it out and kills all sound so i just open my door and close it while driving the slamming of it moves the wires off each other lol.
so check all your wires going to the speakers to see if they are touching..

make sure the antenna did not come out of the back of the radio.

If the head unit is dead, it likely could be from the "magic" used to install it. Was this Lucky Charms type, or Harry Potter style?

Seriously though, there are a lot of things that can go wrong. Remove all connections except the powers and ground and try hooking each channel to a speaker individually.
