Considering this, how do you check amp output on a speaker?
Insert the Test CD into the source unit. With the A.C. Voltmeter set to ~ AC VOLTS, in a range of 10 to 100 Volts, connect the voltmeter (+) test lead to a single channel of the amplifier (+) output. Connect the voltmeter (-) test lead to the same amplifier channel's (-) terminal.
Subsequently, question is, how do you know when a speaker is bad? To tell if the speaker is blown or not without taking it apart is really easy. All you have to do is take a 9 volt battery and touch it to the wires. If it makes scratching noises its good. If it makes no sound at all its blown.
Similarly, you may ask, how do I test the power of a speaker wire?
An easy test can be performed with a 9-volt battery. Connect your 9-volt battery to the leads of your speaker. The positive gets connected to the positive of the battery end while the negative should attach to the negative end. If the speaker begins to pulse, then the wire is working properly.
