Why won't my radio make sound??

I checked the fuses and connections, and the radio turns on, but there is still NO SOUND AT ALL! What could it be? All these electrical problems are starting to get on my nerves now

we'll need a year to better help you as well as which audio system you have or if you are using any aftermarket components. if you're all stock, check the amplifier(s). make sure you're getting power to them.

Sorry, always forget to mention the important details *facepalm

It's an '85 GS with an AM/FM tuner and a tape deck

How do I check if I'm getting power to the amps?
Which plug is it? And what do I do if they aren't getting power?
