I want to test the amp and sub that I bought to see if they are functional.

But I don't have a sub box right now. Can I just hook them up with min volume. I like to see if they produce any sound?

Okay to do that experts ?

Btw, its a jl 10w3v3 for a sub and 250/1 for amp.

i found a friend who had a system and connected my amp and sub with no box to his wiring

 

You can do it but carefully as the box's trapped air volume acts as a spring to limit the excursion of the woofer. Put it cone down on a flat surface and the air trapped there might help a (tiny) bit. Do not run volume up much at all.

 

There is no problem with hooking it up with no box to test it out. As long as you don't crank it up. But I would not put the sub face down on the ground, you could damage the surround

 

Thanks guys.
