Check to make sure the plug on the top is in correct.
If not maybe the leads inside are off but chances are its blown.
To replace it find a shallow mount subwoofer that runs dual 2ohm voice coils
I didn't look that hard but heres an example (I am in no way shape or form saying to get this peticular sub, just giving an example)

If you didn't have the stock Pioneer amp, your other speakers wouldn't work either (The front compoents, tweeters, and rear 6x9's). The OEM amp in GM vehicles is usually under the dash somewhere on the passenger side.
It is likely that either the sub itself is blown, there is something wrong with the wiring from the amp to the sub (or possibly the connector), or the amp itself has lost the subwoofer channel.
Also check the Eq just to make sure you don't have the subs turned off.

Unlikely... there isn't room for it under there with the rear HVAC vents.
As I said, in GM vehicles it's usually behind the dash somewhere... likely the Passenger side (If someone here is a GM Tech or has access to the Helm Manual/Alldata, please clarify this)... You'd probably have to tear the dash apart to find it. Again, its much easier to test the sub first to make sure it isn't blown. If the sub is blown, it isn't difficult to unbolt it and replace it.
If you have the Pioneer 7 speaker system (You will have tweeters on the triangular piece at the top of the door... its behind where the mirror mounts) and your non-sub speakers work, then you do have the amp.

As ctc said above, you would need to hook it up to a meter to see if it reads 0 Ohms. If it reads 0 ohms, its blown. I'd say take it to a car audio shop and have them look at it. There should be a million of them in LV.
