How to test if speaker is damaged

6.9 ohm reading on a 8ohm speaker is indicative of damage or degradation. Should be reading at least 7.5.

any AA AAA battery does the job too

Thank you

Beware don't hold the battery to the terminals more than a half-second or so. If you keep it connected it may blow the speaker! Just tap the 9v battery as the video shows. Don't hold it there.

Ok but the speakers I'm testing has 2 sets of these terminals, one is readying the correct resistance and the other is ol.

Thank you

my left ear enjoyed

Can you do the 9 volt while the speakers are still wired to the cab?

Great simple demo - Many thanks.!

umm. will this work(with multimeter) while its still connected to the circuit board?

Wow! Short and clear! Thumbs up!

Greatttttttt

LMAOOO

Battery trick . Hell yeah 🤟

Great video, I would stay with a D cell 1.5V battery.... 9.0V is a bit high mate. Cheers!

This video was a huge help. Thank you so much!

Thank you, made my day

Good video , thanks! I tested my speaker with the battery and it's not moving. Might it still be fixable though? There's no crunching sound when I move the coil manually.

i think its not okay if my multimeter shows that my speaker has 3 ohms instead of 8 am i right?

What if my 8 ohm speaker measures 13 ohms?

Dude you really need to speak up

Pardon my ignorance on speaker basics - would like a tiny direction for my problem. I bought a 8inch 50 watt woofer (not sub woofer) about 15 years back, used it for few hours and it sounded good. I opened it today and connected it to my amplifier and it outputs too little volume. I gently pushed the cone and spider up, and the volume goes up and it vibrates well. How can I fix it? The spider feels hard... the soft rubber on the outer edge of the cone is soft/flexible...

Speak up can’t hear you

Love vids like this , no intro , no talking no nothing!! Right to the point !!!!!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Does it matter which way the 9volt battery touches the speaker. Im just worried that i might blow it lol

can you test it with the wires still connected to it?

sorry i couldnt hear you my speakers were blown

this audio made me think my headset was broken😂

Low energy.

Is this video test for the right speaker? XD

Great video, thank you!

What's the difference between
6.9 and 69
They are the same positions but 6.9 is loathing, because it has period 😁😁

Reading is 6.9
Naughty speaker and tester😁😁

Apparently my right speaker just died....oh wait no it's just the video

Another cool way to test woofers is to short the terminals with wire and move the cone back and forth while scraping one end of the wire on the terminal. You will feel more resistance and hear crackling from the intermittent connection.

👍

Outstanding!!

Awesome!

Thanks man, i just started as an arcade tech and some games have no sound, didnt know if it was the speaker or the sound boards

Can't hear!!!!!

Thanku sir:::)

⭐️ battery tip is excellent ! ⭐️ thanks 👍

Thanks it works

Leak speaker hasn't been used for some time, today tried using it and was ok for about 20mins then a loud bang. I've tested the speaker with the battery and it moves in and out like your video example however every time I test it with the battery it produces a burnt smell coming from the coil, is the speaker dead. The cone can move in and out ok with no rubbing sound being produced.

Thank you for the video.

My Celestion Vintage 30 has been confirmed dead according to this video 😢

If you don't have a multimeter get one. Super handy around the house and car, will pay for itself in time. Try to get one with an "amp ring" at the top. Gives you the ability to check how much current is on a circuit.

I can't hear you dude

I tested all of my speakers in my center channel speaker and all show resistance so I'm not sure why it's not working.

Will the battery test work on tweeters?
