I messed up could anyone help me out

I was redoing the wiring on the 2 Skar 500watt subs and 1000watt amp on a 2019 Ram 1500 Big horn with 8.4 inch display, I had the back seat up had all of the wires twisted for the line out converter tied together and had covers on all but the pig tailed I had for the ground wire and had the subs working but once I flipped the seat down in the rear door speakers was the a very deep bass sound out the and I hurried up to kill the power to the amp and the wires and after doing that I have no sound in my radio, like my Apple CarPlay and on screen navigation all works it’s just I have no sound and looking at the fuses nothing is blown and I haven’t looked behind the radio one. But the last thing about it is the ANC module that sits under the seat had a very high pitch sound coming from it. I know I ****ed up and I’m just trying to find a way to fix it.

No I didn’t even know the truck had the anc until this happened and started realizing I had. It was a stupid decision and just trying to maybe get any possible solutions

the anc will pick up the woofers and play sound to cancel them so weather you noticed or not there was a battle raging between the truck and the scar. all i can say it's 20 dollars well spent I've be doing car audio for over 30 years. another issue is with a regular LOC and for the most part LOC's are not good you have bass roll off from the factory radio you can combat that with a "loc" that corrects for that. i have seen a few youtube video's of so called installers adding subs to the rams with cheap loc's. i consider them hacks.
this unit will help you so for 70 bucks you can have a really good sounding set up

try the bypass. then disconnect the battery for a little bit.
the radio will shutdown audio if it thinks it is shorted out/blown speaker to protect itself from burning up like a amp going into protection.
i thought i burned my radio up. a used replacement 8.4 is wayyyy to much $$$$. luckily it reset itself. you can check these video's out they may help.
i was running a mono and a 4 channel Friday night i changed out to a D-4-SOUND JP95 5 channel running the whole system and a fox acoustics ram box with 2 sundown 10's
this is the video i used to get me up and running

Took it to the shop today and they said that I shorted the ANC module and to go the sound back they hooked the anc bypass and all the sound is back
