Question Stock Subwoofer Help!

Okay, i have a 2007 SS/SC! My stock sub was working fine up until a few weeks ago. I was on my way to work, when I noticed it wasn't hitting as hard as it usually did. I thought it might of just been the quality of the songs i were listening to.

Long story short, over the span of 2 or 3 days, it went from sounding normal, to now barely making any sound at all! ! Im pretty noob when it comes to car electronics. Could this just be a fuse? Could i have blown the sub? Could a wire have disconnected?

Could it be something else? It feels like there is still a tiny tiny tiny bit of sound coming out of it when i pop the trunk and put my ear next to it LOL, but the bass from the speakers alone overpowers the subwoofer completely!

Any help would be greatly appreciated as i don't really want to buy an aftermarket subwoofer if i don't have to !

Thanks! p.s Sorry for writing a book

check your EQ settings on your radio and all fuses first, doesn't seem right to me. GM wouldn't make a subwoofer that would blow.

I checked the settings numerous times, and they are all good. As with the fuses, would it say in the owners manual which ones are for the sub? Like i said I don't know very much about audio equipment Lol, thanks.

Yup, Lol! Time to start looking for a setup! I was looking at the (" How to upgrade the stock Pioneer sub to sound awesome and look stock. (With Pics) " ) Post, and this is definitely an idea!
