the sub is a dual 4 ohm pioneer 1500w spl sub

can I safely test this on my home reciever?
if so, how should I wire?

stopped working a week before I stored my car for winter. not sure if its my sub or amp because I pulled both out as I stored my car.

any help will be appreciated

no your home set up is 8ohms
see if you have power to the amp #1 thing like fuse the r power when the deck is on . then see if amp is sending out power .

You can test your sub on your home receiver without problems. just wire up your pioneer sub in series.
Voice coil 1 Voice coil 2
Home Amp + ------ Sub+ Sub- -------- Sub+ Sub- --------- Home Amp -

It'll give you your 8 ohm nominal load, you can test to see if the sub works.

Realistically, there's more things to go wrong with your amp then the sub. I'd start with testing your amplifier for problems.

thanks guys
