most amps protect against speaker shorts like that but the bxi line is pretty meh. it probably doesn't have any protection against shorts and thus fried something. if i were you i would just get a new amp but there are a couple people on here that repair amps, so idk

you'll be hard pressed to find an amp for that price. if you can double that budget, you can get a brand new audiopipe 1500 from vminnovations for like $140 shipped after using a coupon code

i had that happen to one of my amps and it doesn't work. i asked my local audio store for average price it would cost to get fixed and they said between $100-300, but i never had them looked at it. ...so now its just a paperweight.
