Exclamation Rear speakers/subwoofer suddenly stopped working

I installed a new Kenwood head unit about a year ago. Everything worked great until a couple of days ago when the sound bar speakers and sub stopped working. I checked the fuses and wiring and everything is good.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

If you kept the OE unit; I would put it back in and test the speakers .. are all the speakers not working... do you have a separate amp or is the sub a powered unit. If all speakers are not working and it is a powered sub MO is the head unit has a failure.

thanks for the reply! It’s just the speakers on the soundbar and subwoofer. I only replaced the head unit when I put it in. The speakers and amp are stock Alpine. I’d rather not put the old head unit back in. It would require changing out the wiring harness and re-soldering.

Did you ever find a solution? My buddy’s JK is having the exact same issue. Had a Stinger unit put in a few months ago and out of nowhere while driving the sound bar subwoofers and the subwoofer in the trunk stopped working. Getting power to the soundbar harness but no sound.
