Check yours grounds and clean your battery terminals if you haven't already. My amp died on the way home last night, so i'm in the same boat..

To test the subs coil use a AA battery and connect the terminals + & - to the + & - from the subs, the cone should move, a 9 volt battery is good to, a multi meter is even better

Sorry to year that, but look at the good side, now you can try new ones
Are you running 2 subs, and are they both dead ?

Did you took them of the enclosure and check the connections?
Strange that both are dead at the same time, but it could have been a "spike" from the amp

question is were the subs distored under high volume?? Damage to a voicecoil can happen when you have distorted subs, Ive burnt voicecoils out when one went the amp spiked and blew the other one. The amp turns on! Indicator is on, have the speakers disconnected at the amp, then to see if you have a wire from the subs to the amp grounded the amp will go into protect mode and will not play anything, see if you are getting voltage remember audio is a.c. from the amp speaker output, maybee if the subs are bridged the amp has finally had enough try switching back to stereo, just some things to try. let me know!!!

Well at least you know what it is now, make sure you check those wires from the amp to the subs if they run under the carpet cause there is some sharp metal under that back seat area. Thanks for the welcome! Ever need anything just let me know!
