Bad wires to the speakers. Or maybe it's the ground? How many speakers stopped working at the same time?

If it were me, I'd first check the ground, then check for continuity between the wiring harness and the speakers.

Sounds like a blown fuse. There's a fuse for the radio under the hood, so make sure you check that one too.

No, that sounds like the Backup Radio/Antenna fuse in the under dash.
