Uh Oh, I need help very quickly...

Ok...so Im installing my new radio and plug in the harness that I just soldered to the harness to the radio, and i hadnt wrapped them up with electrical tape yet( i was just trying to see if my solder job had worked) and I think that the battery wire made contact with the ground wire and I heard a little pop. The radio didnt work(i tested it out before and it worked) and my PND123 screen below the speedometer wasnt even coming up...it was dark. So Im guessing I blew a fuse somewhere or maybe worse. I tested out the factory radio and it didnt turn on either. I am really struggling here and any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Pretty simple, start checking ALL fuses, not just radio, inside and out.

This is why the battery should be disconnected when doing electrical work.

Most likely a fuse if the factory radio isn't working either.

Thanks guys...I found the fuse and everything went back to normal. It sounds great...except for my sub barely produces any bass. I plugged the RCA cables into the back of the head unit but my sub is very very quiet, even with the bass levels all the way up. Any ideas to what may have happened? Thanks!
