What kind of crossover does your subwoofer have? You might listen to the speaker without a crossover, connecting an amp directly to the woofer. It will generate some midrange, but disregard that and just listen to the bass. If it still sounds distorted after the crossover is removed, perhaps making a buzzing sound, then the speaker is probably at fault. If the woofer is good, it will generate bass even without a crossover present.
