Hi, i have a Rockford Fosgate RFX9200 head unit, and i tried wiring it to my 1990 corolla. First, i wired everything, and the head unit was able to turn on but no sound came on at all, then after that, something happened and now the head unit does not even turn on nor my lights in the car or the clock in my car. I think I blew a fuse? Somebody help me please! Thanks.

You did. When wireing a head unit, or any adio components except speakers, always remove fuses. you possibly crossed some wires, or had you power wire hit the case of the deck and poped your fuse. As for the speakers not working, are you sure you wired them correctly...?

i'm pretty sure i wired them correctly, is it possible that there's a fuse for the speakers too? so if i blew the fuse, where is it located and how do i replace it? thanks.

Sounds like you blew a fuse in the car, now if you fix that up and re-wire your stereo and nothing happens then you blew a fuse in the head unit....now these fuses are usually in on of the cables themselves so check the head units wiring harness.....I know coz it happened to me on my car.

check the dome light fuse.
that's always the one that blows, dunno about the 1990 but mine is located under the hood.
