tried to wire a cd player (disaster)

ok i though i could wire in a cd play with the stock speakers and just remember the color code for each then i cut the wires off the back of the stock radio and just started hooking up the wires and nothing works is thier any type of relays from the speakers that would not let it have direct connection from the speakers to the cd player? and the cd player is Max Output 60w (4 ch) and you know the stock speakers are Max 25w . Would this blow the stock speakers??? i just though i could do this myself instead of taking it somewhere

Assumptions are the mother of all f^%k ups. Id recommend taking it somewhere and getting them to bail you out of this disaster, dont be suprised tho if the labor is now $30 or so more than it would have been if you didnt mess with it. Sorry to be blunt, but if you havent a clue, then you shouldnt be attempting it
