Have I blown up my sub???
Hi...I had my friends little lad in the car yesterday, and he turned the volume up on the stereo full blast and now the sub and amp aren't working. Could it just be a blown fuse, or is my setup now knackered??

turning up something full volume generally doesnt blow it
check all the wiring, something may have just come lose

This kind of happened to me before
Wired a sub and amp up
Kid in car turned up volume to near full
Stereo cut off
Amp and sub cut off
and wouldnt start
Fuses in the fuse box had gone...
But if yours is starting then its just a loose wire we hope =]
