[QUOTE="M3FSQ, post: 6944348, member: 624744"] Ok, so I took it into a shop and the guy instantly said that the sub is blown. The subwoofer doesn't move in when pushed on (said some coil was blown). My next question is which subwoofer should I get to replace it. Here are my amp's, I can use either one.

Please help to pick the best option. I don't really care as much about the price since they are all relatively similar.
