I took a close look at the speakers in my 4x10 Hartke cab and it appears that the two right-hand speakers are firing correctly, but I think the left spkrs are only vibrating sympathetically. Is it possible to connect my multimeter to the leads going to the speakers and get a reading as I play the bass, or is there a better way to test them? Thanks, guys!

Disconnect one lead from the driver and then check its DC resistance, a four ohm driver should read about 3 ohms, an 8 ohm driver about 6 ohms.
OK, if I check the resistance of the driver and it's ok, how do I check to make sure the power is getting TO the driver? (Thanks for the help!)
