How do you test speaker capacitors? Have to send a signal through it for testing? Tweeter (EPI inverted dome) doesn't work and don't know if it's the tweeter or capacitor.
I am assumimg you have a pair of speakers? Just remove both tweeters and swap them. If the twetter works in the other cabinet, then you have a crossover, (or wiring) problem. If it doesn't work, you need a new tweeter.
Just take the tweeter out and touch the speaker wires to it playing something at low volume. It is most likely the tweeter and not in the crossover though. You need a capacitance meter to check the capacitors.
Caps can be checked using a DVM and the 'kick' test. Won't give an actual value, but at least that it is still a cap. One leg of the part under test must be lifted.
Why go to the trouble to remove both tweeters just to check one? If you can't check the suspected bad one in it's cabinet, why not just remove it and touch the speaker wires to the terminals and play music through it at low volume?
