Check the front speakers install, make sure the speaker terminals are not touching the doors sheet metal, [shorting out] a common problem when installing some aftermarket speakers into Honda/Acura doors. 94

LOL, it is unlikely that all 4 speakers failed at the same exact time and although under-powering speakers can damage the speakers it is not the under-powering that damages the speakers it is driving the under-powered amp into constant clipping that would burn the speakers VCs and that could not happen to all 4 speakers at the same exact time.
With that said there is a possibility that a VC got burnt to the point of shorting out instead of "opening" the result would be the same as a speaker terminal/tinsel lead/speaker lead shorting to ground.

That leads to my next suggestion, unplug and test the speaker VCs, you can use a multimeter set to ohms or even a batt., [a 9V works best], touch the terminals of the batt. to the speaker terminals, the speaker should "pop" and cone should move, [direction of cone movement will depend on polarity], the batt. will not indicate the condition of the speaker only that it does not have a shorted or open VC.
No sound "pop" and no cone movement = open VC, only that speaker would not work.
Very little sound and no or very little cone movement, [assumes batt is good] = shorted VC, that would trigger HUs protection circuit, turning off amp, no sound from any speaker. 94
