you've probably only killed the amplifier, :-%

rip out the amplifier (PCB) and wire the lousdpeakers direct to to the
input cable,  you get sound atleast.

to fix it properly  Other than  you may possibly need to replace some of
the semiconductors in there. (this probalb means a chip)
and/or you may have also killed some of the electrolytic capacitors and low value
resistors.


I'd have a look and if there's a low resistor (like 1 ohm) in the power
circuit check it first (it's a fuse)  also if there's a 78xx ir 79xx
voltage regulator in there it could be dead too, in both cases the one part
has probably failed and saved the rest of the circuit.


any more than that dead in there it could be a big job to fix it.
