I have power to the unit, but I do not have any sound from the radio or cd player. The speakers are hooked up correctly. This is a new unit. Any suggestions?
If a cable speaker is shorted to ground or (in your case) the short was on the casing the radio mutes the output to save the amp. So
remove all cables and put them back to the radio & connect the speakers one by one to see if it works or mutes again

If the radio is powered on, put a cd in, or make sure you are on a known good radio station and connect a speaker directly to one of the pairs of speaker wires on the radio. let us know if there is still just static.
WELL THIS RADIO CD PLAYER WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT AN AMP HOOK UP IT JUST SENDS A SIGNAL TO THE AMP AND THEN TO THE SPEAKERS. YOU MAY HAVE TO FIND THE AMP THAT DIRECTLY HOOKS TO THIS UNIT...
Sounds like you have either a short in your speaker wire somewhere, wires touching in the back of the unit or a short inside the stereo itself... Try pulling the radio out and unhooking all of your speakers...Turn unit back on after all speakers are disconected...If unit still shows protect, then radio is bad...If it doesnt, power off and hook up speakers one by one and power it back on till it shows protect again....When it does, the last speaker wire you hooked up has either a crossed wire or the speaker is bad...
unplug the radio harness and check for ground on all the speaker lead's. if there is ground on a speaker wire then there is a problem on that particular speaker and if you disconnect all the other speaker should work if not then i would assume the actual unit is defective
the amp requires a 12 volt power constant, and a 12 volt "on" signal. you prolly have the 12 v "on" hooked up to the car stereo's antennae remote, meaning your amp gets power when the radio is on, cuase the radio is sending a signal to the amp (thinking that it is sending a signal to the antennae to raise)
you do have one of those collapsable antennas, right?
it sounds like you didn't hook up both your power wires on your cd player. there is a red and yellow power wire. one is constant power to keep memory and the other turns on the radio when the key is turned. check to see if both are hooked up
Have you checked all of the connections on the speakers, stereo, etc. Being a marine CD player, the wires and connectors are exposed to more elements than a car CD unit. Check for corrosion and make sure that all the speakers are hooked up to the correct "+" and "-" terminals. Not sure if this will help, but thought I'd try. It does sound like a speaker connection problem.
the blue line from the radio harness does not have power when the cd or aux are being used and the amp is not turning on-wire the remote line from the amp to the red line and your amp will stay on and you will get sound
You may have Power antenna and amp remote turn on wires switched. Your system may be looking for turn on signal from radio and only gets it when am or fm is on because power antenna wire is hooked up instead of amp turn on signal.
