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.

The OP says the receiver is getting the RDS display of the channels and
the current aired song.

Yeah, I know. What I don't know (don't have any receivers with this
feature) is whether the signal threshold for RDS is higher, lower, or
the same as for muting. In his latest post, he seems to be having
issues with multiplex threshold as well...leading to antenna diagnosis
again.
