You can use any signal generator plugin or soft synth that can create a sine wave. keep changing the freq starting at around 100Hz and going down. somewhere right around 70 or 80 Hz you'll notice the sound starts to "fart" for lack of a better description. It's actually distortion of the air flow out of the port, if you put your hand in front of the port you can feel the air start to ser. and it will keep doing it and get worse as you go lower and lower.

If you get a chance, try it and see. I'd be interested to know if they finally fixed it because I made a big stink about it a few years ago.
I'll do a test tomorrow to see if I can detect anything. But, I'm not using the sub in the main chain for cross over, so I still tend to think it got fixed. I'll let you know in the am.
