Help, my rear spakers do not work anymore

I was testing out my amp today and becasue i have a stock head unit(non-bose). I know what i did, i accidently made the two wires touch for the rear speakers when was wireing up the amp(i know, i know..........stupid mistake) Did i blow the amp on my head unit or what? Im lost and do not know what to do.

What components EXACTLY are you running, and which wires EXACTLY did you let touch?

everything is stock, i was testing a stealthbox. I just finished wireing in the amp with power then i went and head and disconnected the speakers and spilced into them. I spicled into rear speakers (+ and -) on both sides. And hooked it up to the high level input adapter that came with the amp(alpine mrd-m300). I am not exactly sure what touched what but i know they did because i remember hearing the same thing at a diffrenent incident.

I think what you may have done is wire up the rear speakers incorrectly. When you unplug the rear speaker, there should be a white female socket. The best way to wire to this is to cut off a spare male brown socket, wire up the speaker wire to it, and plug into the speaker. I have a feeling you have wired up to the brown male socket, which is actually a return line to the amp, and not the wiring for the speaker. So you may not have have actually wired up to the speaker after all.
