    what are you using as your source radio or cd?

    Do any work prior to it not working? Wonder what the chances are of all speaker wires being cut.

    did you adjust balance and fade? I've been known to unplug one speaker then adjust sound to that speaker just to fuck with people...

    Do you have any aftermarket amps? or is this a complete factory setup?

    probe the speaker wires for power, if none then you know where to start.

    A simple AA battery on speaker wires will "pop" to tell if the drivers themselves are blown- highly doubtful. The use of two head units is curious...... Too many possible issues to trouble shoot via internet forum. Take it to someone who knows stereos AND you can TRUST.
