Default Radio doesn't work after blower install

Had a blower installed this weekend. Coincidentally, the radio amps don't work anymore. Fuses seem to be ok. Radio is barely audible.

2001 Vert.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Is this C4 or C5?

If it's a C4 my guess would be that it's just a coincidence and the amps have gone out.

2001 would make it a C5. We have two Vettes.

Check the grounds for your amps.

Ok I didn't see that in your profile and somehow completely missed it in your short and to the point post :o

I go along with the person who said take it back to who ever installed the blower, btw which blower did you have installed?

When it comes to stuff like this, I can be clueless. Can you give me an idea on how to do this? Thanks

I am. It's a well know local company that has installed many Maggies. They are willing to fix it. They also aren't sure yet what happened. They're good people, so I'm not worried about them. Just thought by coming on here I might speed up the process.

Thanks
