Headunit wont turn on after jumping car

I was replacing a couple of bulbs in my dash 2 days ago and i had all the lights on a little too long... so my battery died. Now I have a 1500w (3 500w amps) system, 500 going to the front, 500 to the rear, and 500 to an 8" tube sub. The system is all linked together and gets its power directly from the battery. I disconnected this direct line from the battery, at the battery, before i jumped the car. After the car started, I reconnected the audio cable to the battery(while the car was running). Then I got into my car and the stereo doesnt work.... I can hear the speakers kinda pop when i turn the car on, and the headunit still eats and spits out cds just fine. But the lights on the faceplate wont come on. Ive checked all the fuses having to do with the radio and amps and what not, but they are all fine. What could the problem be?
