Thumbs down Seriously at Wits End Here

First of all sorry for adding another thread to the forum but I seriously have no idea what to do anymore. I am still unable to fix the audio issue I am having, and at this point I have 0 idea as to why it is happening.

Basically, my audio system worked perfectly when I first got the car a few months ago. Everything was stock, and I had 0 issues.

Randomly though, my audio would stop working. Sometimes when turning on the car, other times while listening to something. The stereo display stayed on, and I could do everything fine, just no audio came out of any speakers.

It got to the point where now my audio system almost never works.The stereo turns on, but no sound plays no matter how loud I turn it up. Sometimes it will play for a few seconds, but it will then cut out and not come back on.

Here is everything I have done to try to fix the issue:
- Installed new aftermarket stereo head unit
- Replaced amplifier with a certified good used one
- Swapped between old radio, new radio, old amplifier, and new amplifier (no difference)
- Checked every single audio related fuse (none were blown/bad)
- Wired radio output directly to door speaker (the speaker plays fine)
- Checked power and ground to amplifier (getting power and ground just fine)

I seriously don't know what else it could be. The amplifier is receiving proper power and ground, but when I played something through the stereo, no noise comes out of any speakers.

The only idea I have is that maybe one of the speakers is shorting out the amplifier, and it is going into some sort of protection mode. I don't even know if that is a thing, but I don't have any idea otherwise.

If anybody has experienced something like this, or is able to help, please, please reply to the thread. Every shop I've talked to wants to charge a ridiculous amount for work they can't even guarantee.

Thank you for reading, and thank you in advance for any help.
