Default how to test speaker with multimeter?

I think my speakers are blown but it mite be the tweeters. how can i test them with a multimeter? Like what setting do I set it on to test on the speaker itself. I know I set it to ohms but there is a bunch of different ones. And what kind of reading should I get

Thanks

you should get a 4 ohms. Anything way off would mean the speakers is blown. If your meter has many range settings then use your better judgement and see if you get 4ohms

What makes you think they are blown?

What kind of speakers are they?
