well what exactly is wrong with it??? blown VC? if so, depending on the location of the blown wire, its a somewhat easy fix...

think its two blown voice coils took it out of the box, smoked poured out, then turn it on it would move but all scratchy sounding, and could see sparks inside the coil as the sub moved in and out! could i fix it my self?

why wouldn't you go through the manufacturer to replace it, if it's only a month old?

Also keep in mind that 99.9% of the time when you smoke a voice coil (or coils) it's due to being overdriven. If they determine that's the cause of the failure then you'd likely have to pay for a new speaker. How about a little background information on your setup? What the model number and RMS/peak ratings of the speaker? What amp are you driving it with, and in what mode? Did you have the voice coils in series or parallel?

All things being equal, unless you're talking about a high-end driver that's $400-500 or more, like the kind of stuff you find in live sound cabinets like Electrovoice, Mackie, EAW or high-end JBL, voice coil replacement is generally not worth the investment.
