Wrong forum. Sounds like you grounded something you shouldn't have.

Take it out and retrace all the wires using a wiring diagram for the radio , If you have to for the power and ground , run separate wires to the fuse and just metal ground on the car , should already have a fuse on the power line just place it where the power only comes on when you have the ignition in the acc position . That way you don't have to worry about blowing fuses on anything cause the only thing you will have hooked up is the speakers. Issue resolved.
