Ok so I picked up an Alipine Type R subwoofer from the garbage last night, great shape... is there any way to test it at home? I dont have a car audio system anymore... but it was in a dual 12" box as well... how can I see if it works?? Thanks!!

If you have a multimeter you could test the resistance of the coils to see if those readings are in line with whatever coil configuration the driver has.

If they are then that's a good indication that the sub is okay (but certainly not a guarantee...)

Ok I hooked it up to our home stereo and it worked fine, not much power becuase of a small stereo.... but it works great! The ONLY thing with this sub is that the surround around the speaker has come unglued... the black rubber around the sub, how can I fix this?
