Check the fuses there will be two, one under the drivers dash and one under the hood check the one under the hood because those usually go first.

playing at loud volumes for long periods of time can cause the fuse to melt or just flat out blow. The fuse under the hood is only 7.5 amps so check it that could be the problem.

Did you test to see if the power wire is infact getting power? Check that and the ground.
