Fairly common thing. It's usually a loose connection for the speakers, either at the speakers or at the head unit.

Just go through and check your wiring. You got subs so you have an amp I assume, check that and check your crossovers. When **** shakes **** breaks.

one grounded speaker will cause all speakers on that channel to not work (by grounding i mean shorting the positive and the negative of the channel)

happened to me when my amp slid underneath my speakers in my trunk

i check the wires the all seem good, i dont have an amp for the speakers the only connection is the wires in the back of the radio and all those check out,im pretty sure that the speakers arent all on the same chanel from the headunit but i will check mounting and wiring at the speakers.could i have just broke the headunit?
