Message When you say "it doesn't start", do you mean it doesn't crank or it cranks, just won't start?

Things to do:

1) Remove the positive and negative 4 AWG wires to and from the distribution blocks. In other words, disconnect the power wires to your stereo system that you just hooked up. Try to start it without the stereo system. If it starts, it's something in your install. If it still doesn't start, then it's not related to your system install.

2) If it's related to your system install, remove every component and start by adding one component at a time. There is a chance you may have caused a short that affected your starting system or you may have a bad component.

3) If it's not related to your system install, then get it figured out before putting the stereo system back online.

Just one last thought ... since you said "it started fine, but died" would lead me to believe that your alternator isn't charging the battery. You may have inadvertently altered the charging circuit.
