Aftermarket Stereo Install Gone Wrong

I've installed plenty of decks, but it's been a while. I was swapping the stock deck in my 97 for a pioneer and while I was testing the new deck I didn't plug in the antenna and there was a spark. Since then neither the Pioneer or the old stock radio are working. I checked the fuses and they all seem to work. Everything else in the console works the cig lighter, heat n air controls etc. What else can be the problem?

not plugging in the antenna shouldn't cause anything to spark...

i would go back and recheck the fuses...pull them out and see if they're blown. or use a test light if you have one to speed up the process.

Did you check the fuse of the deck itself?
