Default 94 civic won't start at all..no power..nada

ok the problem is that the car won't even crank or don't even have any power at all. tried turning the headlight, nothing, no dash light, or interior light. replaced the battery and terminals, but nothing at all, still the same. It was fine the day before, the only issued i had was with the starter dying on some occasion, but other than that everything was fine. I was fooling around with my speakers wires trying to get my rear right speaker to work again. I'm assuming that might of caused this problem im having. I haven't checked the main fuses yet, but took a glance at the battery fuse, but seems fine. I'm clueless as to what could be wrong with it. Don't think its starter, since there isn't any power at all. Could be some shortage somewhere or some fuse blown, but not sure. I don't know what else I could think of that could make it not work again. any help would be much appreciated.

This is not a problem but an opportunity for you to venture into the world of schematics and finding out where you are losing voltage. Is it a short caused by your speaker wires-I'd disconnect them or even unplug the cd player plug and see if thats where your prob is or is a bad fuse--looks fine--only a multimeter can tell. Maybe you battery is shot
There a several threads on this problem here on H-T and many suggestions by RonJ on this issue and some even have pics of the pages from the helms.
If you have a honda and want to work on it I believe one of the first things you should buy is the helms manual for it. It'll have the schematic you need to find out where to test to see where you have lost potential difference (voltage) and what component could be the culprit. Having a multimeter and knowing how to use it is a must. I know this is not much help directly but indirectly it is. Just my 2 cents
