Hook them up.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Hello,
Here is a link to the excellent SDA Handbook, pages 32 and 33 will be helpful.

If you mean to just see if they work or not, a 9 volt battery touched to the +/- terminals will make the woofer move either in or out, depending on which way you hook it up.
If you mean testing for how well they sound, I like using either Fleetwood Mac's TUSK album or anything by Steely Dan.
To test for efficiency, play YES's Starship Trooper and listen to the opening bass riff.
A very efficient speaker will let you hear the trailing tremolo from the bass notes.
