[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8717347, member: 679555"] An easy and lazy way to test speakers is to touch a 9v battery between the terminals, AA and AAA work too (or a diode test mode on a multimeter). There should be cone movement (don't hold the battery on there, you're just looking for movement with some quick taps). If not use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the leads as 1aespinoza mentioned. A faulty speaker can either be OL, super high, or far lower than rated, like under half. If it reads good then you should check your wiring. Car speakers endure a lot of elements, so it's pretty common for the terminals to corrode to the point they don't play.
