Troubleshooting Speakers (nonStang)

Ohm out the speaker to see if it's bad. It's probably supposed to be a 4 or 8 ohm speaker, so if it reads 0, or close to it then you know the speaker is bad.

I have used a battery (AA or 9v) to check speakers in the past. You could do that. Just touch the terminals to the terminals on the batt for a split second. If the speaker is good, you'll get a little "pop" and the diaphragm will move.

An 8 ohm or 4 ohm speaker does NOT refer to resistance. A good speaker will meter out at a "dead short". When the meter reads "infinity" (circuit not complete) on the meter, it is no good. (8 and 4 ohm refers to the "load" (impedance) that the speaker puts on the amplifier, when in operation.)
