    Hello,
    Probably the best way to test your subwoofer is to first turn the sub's volume all the way down and remove the sub-cable you have connected to the receiver. Then bring your CD/DVD player over to the sub and use two RCA cables to go from the right and left audio outputs of the CD/DVD player to the corresponding right and left inputs of the subwoofer. Then start playing a cd and slowly turn up the volume on the sub, you should hear plenty of bass at a low setting.
    Then put your player on "pause" and see if you hear anything coming from the sub. If everything's quiet then the problem is elsewhere in your system.
    Regards, Ken

    Step one is to figure out where the problem is, subwoofer or upstream with the receiver.
