not if he wired it right.

the amp will still power on with a blown sub. none of the subs won't play, if it's wired right, and there's a blown coil

plug a speaker into it, and see if it works. keep the volume low.

why? if 1 coil is blown, none of them would play. more than likely, you still have 2 good ones, and 1 bad one.

might also depend on how they're wired. are they dual voice coil?
