Overnight Sensations Problem: Opposite Tweeter and Woofer not working

Hello!

I just finished building a pair of Overnight Sensations and plugged them in for the first time and... the left woofer isn't working and the right tweeter isn't working. Now, I know that the answer is probably bad solder joints, but before I pull everything out and start testing the boards I just thought I'd ask the silly question, since the problem is so strangely symetrical: Is there a chance I just messed up the wiring between the outputs and the drivers? Seems really coincidental that I'd be getting one of each working but on opposite sides, doesn't it?

And sorry, I know there's not much detail in this post. I built these with my son and they're in his room for the night after the failed test, so I haven't started taking them apart yet.

Thank you!
