Subwoofer making staticy crackling sound

[Honda02]

I have a circuit breaker hooked up with an alpine amp and a Kicker L7 Solobaric sub hooked up. Yesterday my amp blew both of the 40 A fuses that were in it. So I replaced them and it worked perfectly fine after that. This morning I turned on my car and the sub stopped working. Fuses aren't blown, circuit breaker isn't popped out, amp turns on and lights up, but only crackling and static sound comes out of the sub. Any ideas of what could be wrong??? Aside from my amp being toast.

Amps don't just blow fuses for no reason. Either you have a short, speaker is blown, speaker wire is shorted.

How do I check to see if there's a short?

If I had a short, wouldnt the amp not light up and turn on?
