Hello. The easiest way to check would be to get yourself a 9 volt battery and simply attach the wires from your speaker(s) to the battery. You will hear static through the drivers if they are not blown or damaged. BTW, this is also a great way to test to see if your speakers are hooked up correctly, l-r-center , rears, as well as checking car stereo speakers. Good luck !!

I like THX Installers answer.
But - are you sure it is a bad speaker? Many times receivers go into 'PROTECT' mode because one end of a speaker wire has little copper strands sticking out and cause a short.
I had my receiver shut off on me after a few minutes several years ago. I examined the end of each wire - and could NOT see a problem.
But I trimmed each wire, re-stripped and re-attached both behind the speaker and behind the receiver - problem went away.

I've come acroos this same problem in the passed.
I unhooked each speaker (one at a time) and turn my stereo on with only one speaker disconected at a time. When it stayed on I found my blown speaker.
I hope this helps.
