Testing tweeters resistance

[halla26]

Just got two tweeters, testing their resistance but getting nothing on ohms, however with speakers I am. Guess tweeters fooked?

Could be blown yeh. If you get infinite resistance its cus there is a short or a cut in the voice coil.

not even getting a flicker, blah ;(

is there any capacitors on the tweeters? As they are sometimes wired in series and would show as open circuit if it was. I'd just connect them to some thing and see if they work

Yes, as above.

If they're the factory tweeters they'll have a capacitor built-in in series with the tweeter coil (it's acts as the crossover to block low frequencies getting to the tweeter.)

not factory ones, there vibe ones, got a crossover unit also. So guessing no in built capacitor?

just one or both of them?? i have a spare vibe blackair tweeter if you wanna buy it??

both unfortunately, going to test them out in a bit just in case, but not having high hopes!
