Have my amp but judged wanted to make sure it’s working, because I won’t have my sub for a few months and don’t wanna find out amp is doa.

How could I test to see if it’s working right?

You could but that would be considered a no load test

^ this is important as you can still check continuity and voltage and even check it for distortion with a dd1 but you won’t know how it acts when hooked up to subs and This happens more often than you think or some won’t go into protect untill a load is present so it’ll power up fine there but as soon as you hook up the woofer click, you also won’t be able to see how hot it gets either when it’s pounding away. Id see if someone who has subs would test it for you.
