I would take this sub back where you bought it from, And if you hooked it back up and still non working, my guesswould be the amp, touching like that would kick the amp!!

Return it with a receipt from where you purchased it. Warranty is key!

If you cant take it there, SSelectronics can help you.

Subs and the winter not a great combo. What type of bad sound are you getting? Is the sub fluttering even at low volumes?(not seeming to move to the sound it is outputting). Even though the amp may seem fine it could have damaged. Crossing channels is not usually good even after a blown fuse and hopefully the amp went into it protect mode.

******* does repairs. They also got lots of fosgates, but i would think its your amp th0. Its pretty hard to blow a sub with a short circuit.

The company you specified does NOT do repairs!!! They also DO NOT want their name listed on this site. Please respect Dejans request.
