How to check if car amplifier is working?

I bought a pair of 12" subwoofers the other day, and the guy I bought them from gave me an amplifier with it for free. I need to know how to check if they are operational.
I want to do this BEFORE I install into my car.
I have already connected the positive to positive and the ground to the chassis.

bridge a power cable into the remote turn on terminal on the amp it should turn on although this does not guarantee its going to work

you also need to hook the remote wire to a 12 volt source and then the light should turn on some need an input signal to for the light to turn on

if you want to know before you install them then take the amp to best buy of some other car audio place and they can test it for you.
