Test a subwoofer ?!

[yuvannr]

I've been googling around solutions to this without using an amplifier but i can't seem to wrap my head around it :bang ! Do you guys know an inexpensive way to check if a subwoofer is alive or not ?!

Find a friend with an installed amp, take it to a shop.

People have plugged them into walls to blow em but you probably don't want to do that...

Use a home theater amp.

A multi-meter.

+1 multimeter. check online for this method its very common method

[dentinger]

9 volt battery. Take the positive and negative wires on tap it on the terminals. The subwoofer will thump if it's working.
