Tweeter help

[creeps228 10+ year member]

Hey all, im new to the audio game, but i know when i hear something good and something bad. Anyways i have two 6x9 coaxial 3-way rear speakers and i wanted more vocal from the back so i went to an audio place and asked them to install two 4" tweeters. So they did this pretty much

I decided to check my sound system after a long time having it. I removed the tweeters and reinstalled them but i wanted to make sure that they were sounding...connecting exactly how the audio place did and no sound..... i removed the tiny capacitor they but and connected it directly and still no sound. How can i check to make sure the tweeters are working? Without using a ohm-meter

Play a 40khz test tone and put your ear up to the tweeter. If you don't hear it, it's broke.
