Blown Speaker

1. Its not a sub, its a full range speaker.
2. Call up Hartke, they are very helpful with getting customers replacement parts. They will ship you the correct driver for your cab . . . . for a price of course.

You only just bought it and it had a broken speaker? Or you broke it? If it was that way when you bought it, go get your money back.
Wouldn't hurt to test each of the other drivers individually. Whatever caused the dead one to blow happened to the others as well; they may be near their end.
+1 on contacting Hartke; I've had great experiences with their tech support (I called my dealer rep about a customer's blown speaker on a Friday and had a replacement driver in the store on the next Wednesday...... understand that on a more typical schedule, that Wednesday would be used for faxing forms to the Return Authorization department, who would then contact me in a couple of days, blah blah blah.....)

well first off i bought it blown with a 250 watt head and the cab for only $150 from a friend, he hasn't used either in a while. So i will try contacting Hartke if its not to expensive. I was just considering dropping in a Eminence Basslite S2010 10" 150W Bass Speaker or something close. I'm pretty much a beginner at bass so I'm not looking for the best of everything. The opportunity struck and i took the deal, because its a step up from my ****** line6 lowdown 150. I appreciate the input.
Don't drop in a random speaker - you are likely to create a mismatch between the driver and the cabinet and mess up the sound. Go back to the OEM driver.
It's still a decent buy. IMO you did OK.
BTW: Bass cabinets don't have "subs" - just large speakers, aka: drivers.
