Exclamation Audio problem

When I turn radio/CD/tape on, there absolutely no sound from speakers, but there's sound number and station numbers on the head unit. So unit works fine. May be it's fuse? Also where's fuse for radio located and where's amplifier? How do I check if it's bad amplifier?

Thanks.

My amplifier is located in the right side of the trunk. My system is the Nakamichi one. Fuses are located in both driver and passenger footwells. Check the owners manual for radio and amp fuse locations.
