How do I know if my speaker wires are working?

Is there a speaker tester for finished speakers?

I don’t believe there’s any tester for a finished speaker (including the crossover). Parts Express sells a woofer tester, but it’s designed to test the bare speaker by itself. BTW, I am asking this question because I bought a pair of used speakers from ebay (due to arrive tomorrow), and I want to test them.

How do you test a speaker with a multimeter?

Connect both ends of the speaker to the positive and negative leads of the multimeter. If there is an unbroken circuit through the speaker there will be a continuous tone output from the multimeter and/or the meter will not read “OL” (open).
