Default bose amp inop.....

ok, techs.....if you have been following my E-Ghosts thread you know i've worked grounds..the 300 series fuse/buzz box..... had pass seat out , (grd 302,& 306..out,cleaned,coated, and back).......radio turnes on, all functions look to be working.....however no sound!......what do you all think? did i not reconnect something under seat?
grounds 306. a double straight ground.....one of the grounds was touching the seatbelt box/relay.....i moved it so as not to touch that..might that be it?....i checked the audio fuse, its ok.....there is an amp "maxi fuse" i guess i'll replace that......any thoughts? i also tryed to look under engine compartment fuse box for corrosion, but need more time to work that.....?????? might have jared something there?????
thanks guys

slowroll.... this morning go to start, and noticed the sts seemed to start slow....battery low..... moved the car to pack it, and shut it down..... on second start she wouldn't start.....this has happened before, the cvrss relay sticks on (buzzes) and batt would run down........ now sense i changed that cvrss fuse,the E-Ghost gets into the amp, because after jumping the sts the RADIO WORKS...... i might add, i could shut the car down right after that and she'd start like nothing was ever wrong.... battery as strong as ever!!!
odd isn't it.... does this give you any thoughtson the major problem....E-Ghosts

Your car gets more interesting every time you post. This latest developement makes wonder if problem may be souce voltage loss vs ground. I suggest to check positve battery cable for corrosion at all ends,Red cover should slide off ,and remember green or discolored copper is bad.
