An electronics shop should be able to open up the amp, and find the replacment potentiometer and replace it that way.

Yes, you can get Torx bits at Home Depot or most any hardware store. Most all-in-one screwdrivers include a couple sizes of these. I'm not sure what size you need for the Axiom amp screws, maybe T20, or T25?

uh...OR you could scream at UPS and get yourself a new amp. I wouldn't even consider trying to fix this until I tried everything I could to get them to pay for the damage.
In the case of the artwork they tore...I got a FULL refund on the total value of the page. Even though the tear was small. If it was insured, they will pay you.

Fight tooth and nail to get UPS to cover the cost of replacing the amp. If that does not work, you could also remove the amp and take it to an electronics repair shop. Stress the fact that the technician find an exact matching replacement part if possible, even if it costs you more. As a last resort, you can try to have Axiom give you the replacement part number for the potentiometer and buy one online and change it yourself.

I thought he said that there was no external damage to the packaging. There are scratches in the area surrounding the broken knob. Doesn't sound like the problem was caused by the carrier.

I dont see any reason why you cant have the pot replaced. Probbly a rather straight forward job.
However if you want to just get it up and running you can either glue/epoxy something to it so you can turn it. Or if you have steady hand, try taking a dremel with the smallest cutting blade possible and cutting a notch in the shaft, then you can turn it with a small flat blade screwdriver.

I'm not so sure that the damage was a fault of UPS. Nothing else on the amp was damaged, I find it hard to beleive that would be the only thing to be damaged. If no damage was made to the box the sub was shipped in I don't see UPS being at fault.
