You might get luckier than me at tapping it with a hammer. I ended up ordering a replacement from Parts Express. 8 inch, 4 ohm subwoofer, pick something in your price range, but don't go crazy. Many of the current subwoofers have dual 8 ohm coils. If you get one, connect the coils in parallel.

It measures in at just under 4 ohms, so assume a 4 ohm speaker. You can replace this with any number of similar subs, using perennial DIY favorite PartsExpress, there are two under $30 that would meet your needs (Dayton SD215-88 and Goldwood GW408). Looks like they both have dual 8 ohm coils, so you would simply wire them in parallel for your application.

It depends on what it is on, but I am seeing mention of a 1 POINT 6 (1.6) amp fuse so NO to a 15 amp fuse. Fuses are there to protect against shorts or overloads. The fix is not to put in a fuse that is 10 times bigger, or you burn out components or wiring. Fix the reason the fuse blew, normally take to an audio electronics engineer. fuse (1.6A) 120vac https://www.google.com/search?q=polk+audio+fuse ..

try eBay and buy another unit

Only if it has it's own Bluetooth button and it doesn't look like it has. https://www.crutchfield.com/S-g9i9ame4xO7/p_107SB5KIHT/Polk-Audio-SurroundBar-5000-Instant-Home-Theater.html ..
