Only new and had a quick question, don't really know to much about stereo's. Was at a mates house one weekend and was having a few drinks, I went inside to his home theater system to change the song but ended up turning his sub woofer up on his stereo system to pretty much max accidentally. Thought was all fine that night but got a call from him about a week later saying that his getting a lot of distortion and stuff from it like not sounding right and his going to get Harvey Norman to look at it to get fixed and me being a nice guy said would pay to get fixed cause thought would of been my fault. Just wondering if turning a sub up for about 30 sec could do this sort of damage and what use would think would be the problem?

Yes, it very well could and likely did. You have probably severely damaged the woofer voice coil. The woofer is going to need a complete reconing or replacement. You might have also damaged the amp.
