Default Electrical Wiz Come Help Me!

Okay so i just installed my 2 12s kenwood competition subs. I used to have 2 JL Audio w6s installed but they ripped.
So i trash them and got some new ones. I install them last night and everything was good till about 3 hours ago my door speakers gave out.
Sound like all my door speakers doesnt work anymore. All that is making sound is the tweeters and the one on my front dash.
My subs would hit about a minute later as well. Feels like im not having enough power.
Please someone explain to me what is going on or what should i be looking for.
Also yesterday was my first time connecting my sub-woofers. The wires was already there and connected from my previous setup.

You could of blown your speakers if you didnt break them in correctly. Or you could of just had defective speakers. Did you by them new or used?

With the total lack of description it leads me you didn't install the original setup I guess. Single or dual VC subs? Wired parallel or what? What did you have the gain set at? Where and how was the amp grounded. What gauge of power and ground wire?

Is the 11-speaker OE system (or ML?) still on the factory amp or what? Stock speakers still? What sound level do you usually listen to the music at?
