I would like to know if there is any way other than listening that I could test to make sure a speaker is properly performing before selling, are there any readings I can take with a mulitmeter, also FYI I'm about as tech savy as a doorknob-thanks-mike
Sure, but you're gonna need at least 2 spotters, given the assymetric nature of most speakers, let alone nothing firm to hold on to. To each his own, but personally I'd just stick to a barbell and plates. Much easier, and probably safer.
Get a test record/CD with a frequency sweep, and play each speaker at various volumes and see if they break-up, buzz, crack, or do anything that sounds bad. If they don't then do it in front of your buyer so that he is satisfied of their soundness. Then if he blows them up, you are off the hook.
