Possibly a broken connection between box terminals and sub terminals. Failing that maybe toasted voice coils.

wip the sub out the box and connect it direct to the amp using some spare cable. if it works then connectivity is your problem. Toasted voice coils means the death of a sub unfortunatly.

if your gains on the amp are set ok and not clipping; and as you say you werent thrashing it at the time chances are its not the coils.

dodgy connection, broken tinsel lead or blown coils.

so check connections

push the sub in with your hand to see if it moves freely and listen/feel for scraping noises
