phonos seem ok, havnt done anything to them otherwise. even if it snagged wire id still expect a hiss/buzz etc

only other thing i can think of if all wiring is correct is to maybe get another sub and wire it up to the amp? or try ur sub with another amp. Either you knackered your amp while moving it around or maybe a speaker wire on the inside of the sub box has come loose?

no sign of burning or just a clean crack? sometimes happens, stress cracks do happen in PCB tracks
