New and debating

Hey, Im new to the forum. I have searched these forums for a while just to get random info and you guys are great. I finally joined. Anyways, I have an A2300hct and a awt12x. Wel the awt kinda seizured on me the other day. It sounded blown for about 4 hours in that time frame it was tuned down. Then it recovered from its temporary epilepsy only to pop then no longer reproduce anything. Is it blown? I think so, but shouldn't it even try to make any noise? The amp is still laying down power, I do not know how much no tester. So, how do I tell if it is blown I am not a complete idiot, so technical responeses will work (lol no comments about idiocy and the awt pls). And is it possible to repair if it is blown, I think like 6 months ago while surfing I came across info on how to build, fix woofers. And 1 more question. If I get this thing fixed I will get rid of it. What would be a good replacement. I like sq, but I also liked the loudness throug the entire frquncy range of the linear. I was kinda wondering bout the type x's, or idmax (it'll kinda have to be 2 of each) or the fosgate t212. Sorry for the long post, but from what I've seen you guys can handle it. thanks in advance. BTW 1998 ford ranger extended cab. and what the h*** is the name of that program to predict output.

from your explanation...im guessing that sub is blown.

best way is to take the speaker out of the box and inspect the coil, check for black/burn marks, see if the cone/coil can still actually move, and if your not sure after that hook the sub up to a 9v battery and see if it does anything, if not.....most likely blown

Well I guess, I should start thinking bout replacement. I didn't buy this setup- for me. Someone bought it through me. They wanted to sell it so I bought it. I like clearer soounding stuff!! But I was hoping I could nail the notes wicked loud. Loud and Clear no L7.

I have this and like it. Good SQL driver for the price.
