well its not the wiring on the speaker. all that does is reverse the polarity and it will play but sound like s@#t. you might have fried your amp.

wrong. I sugest you use some higher gauge speaker wire such as 12gauge-and replace it all, that way you are certain you wont burn the wires. Also, reversing the speaker leads forces the speaker or sub to play inwards insted of outwards. This over time will destroy the coil. it is possible that you friend your amp output from having the wrong resistance on it.

replace all of the speaker wire. What light is on the amp? it might even be that your speaker is blow, to test take a AA battery, connect the neg and pos wires to the sub and using the other end, tap the ends to the AA battery. if the speaker makes a little crackling sound, they are still okay
