Can I do this to test a driver on "unknown" condition speaker?

[eq_shadimar]

I am going to go look at a pair of Heresy's in bad condition (finish wise) and unknown working conditon otherwise. If I bring along a SPL meter, remove the grill (if possible) and stick the mic into the throat of the horns (while playing music of course) if I could tell if the horns where working or not.

Any thoughts?

For the "program", use hiss from an FM tuner set where there is no station (muting off). This will let you hear if the tweeter is working very clearly.

deang idea is good and simple.Just make sure no joker turns the volume way up or you may have to relpace ear drums!

Any speakers can be verified this way,for woofers you can move the cone(push in),if you hear any friction then the voice coil of the woofer is off center and the driver is to be reconed or replaced.

Just dont push tweeters and midrange membranes,its deadly.

Hehe yeah it was the ear drum thing I was worried about :-) Cool so either way will work.

Back away from the volume control slowly slowly ok now freeze :-)

Thanks guys,
