SPL brand sub 1 out of 2 coil's quit working PIC's

[Jeepjones85 10+ year member]

I let a friend borrow this old sub of mine and now it dont work

It is a SPL 10 sub 1000w rms. It's a dual 2ohm sub and one of the coils quit working...If you hook the good voice coil up It plays fine, If there hooked up together at 1ohm it wont work, Unless you mash down on the dust cap and then it plays and if you let off of the dust cap it quits playing ??? Weird ???

Is there anything I can do to fix it or should I just scrap it?

It has a bad spot in the one coil, run it on just the other one.

Well what i believed happened was. This sub has those crappy screw terminals instead of the push kind... and from all the vibrations just worked it self lose and some how blew the coil in the process

If it plays when you push on the dust cap, then the voice coil is not blown. It sounds like the tinsel lead came lose from the voice coil lead. If you remove the dust cap (if you can) you should be able to resoldier the tinsel lead and the voice coil lead back together.
