I installed an aftermarket double din stereo on my car listed above ex and the car was running good before the install but after I installed it, the car would start or crank. All the electrical work. Not sure what's going on. I did check the fuses, and none looked blown. I did take the starter out got it checked and it was so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

You must have bumped something; can you check the floormat to make sure it is not keeping the clutch pedal from being depressed completely? There is nothing from the radio that will keep the engine from cranking over, is the security light flashing? Here are the starter and radio wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Here is a guide as well to help test the starter trigger wire for power when in the crank position.
