[QUOTE="MisterDeadeye, post: 7707112, member: 611015"] Was everything new when you got it? I think it's more likely that you have a wiring or amp issue if you blew the inline fuse. Either way, take the sub out of your box(with no power to the amp of course) and inspect all of the wiring inside of the box. Look at the tinsel leads(they're the silver wires that are connected to the positive and negative terminals of your sub), and see if they're frayed or broken. Make sure the wires are snug that connect to the subwoofer terminals, and the terminal cup on the box(assuming it has one). If all of that's fine, go back to the shop and ask them if they can test the sub on a different amp. That way you can either know for sure that the sub is bad, or rule it out completely. Do you know the model of the ID sub they're trying to sell you?
