How do you check amp output on a subwoofer?
Registered. The receiver sub-woofer output is line level. So to test you could connect to a line level input (e.g., Aux) of a separate amplifier and listen through headphones or speakers that can handle low bass frequencies while playing something with low bass content through the receiver you are testing.
