Default Kenwood receiver no sound on FM source

Well,
FM does work as such. I receive channels, and the name of the channel
and the currently aired song is displayed (thru rds).
So it's only the sound output to the speakers that no longer works,
and only for FM.
It started when I tried to hook up 2 speakers per channel instead of
one.

Hooking up speakers would not cause the FM problem. Could have blown an amp
channel, but then the other sources would not work.

Maybe knocked off the antenna, or as someone else suggested, the current
lack of FM could be a coincidence.

That answer resonates with me, as well, OP. Go back and *carefully*
check the antenna connection. If it looks good, unhook it anyway, and
hook it up again. You'll have to do it anyway if you repair/replace the
receiver, and it's a lot cheaper than those options.

Also, the advice in the thread about switching the FM mode is sound.
That might lead you to the same place; a bad antenna connection.
