Testing A Sub Out On A Home Receiver? (noob)

[Guest]

That Kicker cvr i bought a while back, i want to see if it works. i got my old technics receiver, like 8 ohms stable, sub 4.

could i play a 50hz tone quietly through the receiver to the sub without fucking anything up?

some recievers will be able to take the load, but i think those technics will overload and shut itself off, as i used to do it all the time with my old one

Just start with the volume all the way down and turn it up slowly untill the reciever shuts off.

The sub might still make some wierd mechanical niose's testing it that way, nothing permanent.

lol i def dont want it to shut off, i blew my old aiwa one by blasting it. Bad cooling design + 200wrms amp = smoked something inside.

the technics amp is my dads and he uses it to power the outside speakers during parties, so i DEFINENTLY dont want to have it turn off randomly

i test speakers on my home reciver all the time just to see if they play and there is no coil rubbing sounds i dont not blast em

ive hooked up 6 1/2 to 12's up to it

i know my technics from the 80's had no problem with it but i dont want nothing to happen to you equipment cause i had no problems i say 90% ok 10% something might happen!

I just had my 18 hooked to mine.

It is an S8 Coil though.

You can do it just don't get too happy with the volume knob.
