Contact Audiobahn directly. If you do not have any warantee contact info, just find their website, call the main number, and ask. Im assuming this was an internet purchase as you haven't mentioned taking it back to any local shop.

The spider coming loose from the former should not make the sub stop working altogether. Most likely the sipder came loose, allowed the coil to go drastically non-linear, and the coil shorted out. Either way you need a recone if Abahn offers such a thing for it (prolly not), or a new sub.

Whether or not it will damage your other sub depends on some things, like if they were in a shared chamber box. For safety sake I recommend you shut down your subwoofer system until you have it working properly again.
