Testing speaker capacitors


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.

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.
You really don't have to disconnect the tweeter to test it if you can get to it's terminals.
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?
