Hey everyone.. I took my 04 srt10 into work today and on my drive home I ended up hitting a massive pothole on the highway (I was honestly worried about wrecking a tire/rim on my driver front tire). Anyways as soon as I hit the bump I lost my speakers. Adjusted volume and drove and nothing.. I tried restarting the car and still nothing. I have an aftermarket stereo but just pulled the dash and had a look (my thought was maybe the amp trigger wire came out or something). Everything seemed good there and the head unit functions as it should (but no sound from speakers). I checked fuses under the hood and didn't see anything.. I pulled the passenger seat previously and was looking at the amp does anyone know if the amp has a fuse on it?

I do hear a faint static from the speakers when I turn my key to the on position but it doesn't change at all when adjusting the volume on the head unit. I have the old stock hesd unit in storage somewhere and may throw it in this weekend to test that out but I'm pretty sure it's something else. I have been considering a stereo upgrade over the winter as well so maybe that will end up happening but I would like to make sure I know what happened (if it just killed the factory amp that's fine but i find it highly unlikely. I didn't get air or anything just a large pothole at about 115km/hr).

I'll dig into it some more this weekend if I have some time but figured I would ask here if anyone experienced anything similar previously as maybe I am looking at the wrong thing.

Thanks everyone

Ill just give an update. I think the issue is in the headunit. I installed a **** controller and wideband in advanced of my paxton install this winter and maybe a metal shaving went in there and shorted something out (triggered by the bump.. I did go through the harness and ensure all pins were properly seated on both sides). I plugged the stock headunit in and everything worked perfectly so it is certianly something with the headunit. I did reinstall it and tested the rca outputs to a JBL speaker and I can now listen to music using this for the time being. I am thinking I will most likely do a full stereo upgrade this winter as well as I would rather spend the money on upgrading the speakers and sub vs buying a new headunit. I wanted to test that the actual rca outputs from the headunit worked before making this decision and it does work as verified by the JBL speaker.
