Subwoofer Test

Hello everyone and happy Thanksgiving! Say, I bought a new sub and am having some issues. The boys at SVS want me to send them a video/audio with just the sub playing, no other speaks. Trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this. I have separates and am thinking of just turning the amp off and feeding the sub with the LFE line from the pre/pro. Can anyone see a problem with this idea? Or is there an easier way?

Thanks, Chris

    If it's a powered sub you can connect a CD/DVD/BD player to the R/L inputs

    I think your method is fine, or what ken says, or just plug your phone in using an adapter...

    I would use your method. It's the easiest and most direct way to do this.
    It does depend on what your are trying to achieve, and demonstrate to SVS though. Subwoofers are somewhat visually demonstrative, but only when they are being pushed. Sonically it can be even trickier, because cell phone microphones are not the ideal tool for picking-up on sub-woofer performance.
