I think you may have burnt the coil on the sub to be honest mate, you got another sub to try?

aye mate, either get hold of another amp to try or another sub and you can then tell whats the problem etc 
Although, you can check if its screwed or not by wacking a multimeter on the + and - and reading the resistance Then checking it against what it should be etc etc

Like Visibleman said, get a cheapy multimeter, measure the resistance accross the sub.
If it shows a different resistance ( i mean majorly different not like .4 or .5 out) then its probably shagged.
What sub is it mate out of interest? And way you say bump bump bump, is the speaker moving and producing no bass?

aye, if the cone is moving, i wouldnt have thought it would be coil?  although, surely the sub would produce something other than pushing air back and forth?

the sub is an audiob ahn one. 500rms
i am only powering it tho at 400rms 
the sub does move i can see and feel it moving wqith the tunes and its in time, but when the bass comes in, it just noit in time with it and it just goes bumo.....bumo........bump. like a heart beat, and a dead heart beat at that
