haha lil John took out one of my subs a few months ago. It was Get Low that was the culprit. Sounds more like your amp is the problem not the sub. Everytime that ive blown a sub ive blown it by seperating the cone from outer rubber piece.

take it out and put a 9v battery and match the pos and neg to the positive and negative terminal's on the speaker, if its blown the speaker wont move, if it works it will move. They did that to test my Kicker L7's before they installed them in their shop so that someone couldn't bring in broke speakers and lie and say they worked if they hooked them up and they didn't work.
