Default Help.. please... ignition

so i bought my honda 4 months ago... it ran fine. but i didnt have my lisence so i just ripped my interior apart and redid it. I got my lisence yesterday... so ive been putting it back together... (looks sexy) but now it wont start. It started 2 weeks ago before i took my dash out.... but i painted my dash and put it back in... now it doesnt start. I never unhooked the actually ignition coming from the key. I unhooked one end of my battery before i took everything out. The only things that i unhooked where things like... my deck/hazards/turningsignals/wipers ect.. all the things on the dash... but i hooked them all back up and they work fine. When i turn the key my engine turns over and over for like 10 seconds till my battery dies... (i got it hooked up to a charger). I have new speakers in now too.. alpine type s... but i dont think that would effect it. Its low on oil...? but not dangerousely low. the engine light is on. i have half a tank of gas... old gas? maybe 6-8 months old? but it ran 2 weeks ago? i know that it could be many things... im wondering if its related to me taking out my dash... fuses or anything i could have blown some how? maybe someones done this before?

Do you have spark? Do you have fuel?

need to get the oil up so the engine light is not on.
fill at least to the add mark.
i would get the battery up - clean the cables and the battery terminal.
at least have that good.
