Subwoofer stoped working!

Hi, I know nothing about sound systems, my car just came with one. It was cool, but AAA did a battery change and now my subwoofer doesn't work. It may or may not be because of the battery change, because the sound system was not used for a week after the change.
I know it is a sony X plode woofer, with two speakers. the tweaters i think are the standard speakers. The sound is all tiny and only comes out of the other speakers. I took out the subwoofer and checked the wires, they are all attached. I cant even find the fuse box (is it under where the pedals are?) any ideas on things to check would be appriciated, this speaker setup was amazing until it stopped.
thanks!

When the battery was changed, the person probably forgot to hookup the power wire to the positve battery terminal. Pop the hood and see if there is a red wire running to the battery.

^^What he said....If it is connected check the main fuse on the line to the amps...sometimes the fuse will pop when they fiddle around with trying to connect it
