On the bad sub, take a reading of the ohms. The VC could be shot. Push in on the cone. Do you hear a scratching sound?

yeap.....if there's that " scracthing" sound then the VC's definitely shot.
Had a first hand experience when i cooked my rsd12" with a 1k of 60Hz tone.....

Yep....quickest way to fry a sub is by clipping the amp. Odds are your gains are turned up way too high.
