I know this is not Contour related but I know someone here can answer this question.

Is there a way to test a driver (single voice coil) with a multimeter to find out the ohm rating it is. I have some old home audio speakers I want to use for my garage and I need to replace the woofers, but they are unmarked. I have tried but I cannot get a stable reading. The surrounds are torn, but I do not think that the voice coils are fried as they play fine at low volume levels.

I think that these speakers are rated at 8 ohms. They are 20 year old EPI Time Energy 100's

I would assume that if you use the wrong ohm rating in a two way speaker the crossover will not work correctly.

Thanks,
