Members yabba Posted April 19, 2006 Members Share Posted April 19, 2006 what exactly do you want to test it for? you can measure the impendance if you want; you could always do the "9V battery across the terminals" trick to see if the voice coils are intact and check polarity, etc..

Members espm1000 Posted April 19, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 19, 2006 Just to see if it is working right. I have a small problem where my cabinet came, but my head hasn't arrived yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Dave said, but to be more specific take the battery and rub it one terminal against the the side of the 1/4" plug and one against the tip while watching the speakers to make sure all of them push forward.

(or all backwards, depending on which terminal of the battery you've connected to which terminal of the plug; as long as they all move in the same direction, you're good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
