Hi:
It sounds like there is an internal short which may have caused the amp to short. You can remove the stereo and try it on seperate speakers, but chances are it won't work.

If you remove it, take it to a local stereo shop and have them check its output. If there isn't any, compare the cost to replace or repair.
