How do you tell...

How do you tell if subs are blown? by listening? anything to test with a multimeter?

you can check with an ohms meter. if it says a reading other than the impedence of your subs, they're cooked. and most of the time blown subs will rattle loudly and/or go crunch.

use a multimeter and test the resistance of the coil. if you read 0, then it's dead.
