Speakers

How would I go about testing these speakers ?

Ive got a basic car radio CD player.

you can test them with your normal radio but it wont put out its full power

as you will need an amp to run them properly

9v battery across terminals will tell you they work, the gently push the cone down to see if you can feel the coil rubbing. If it does it’s toast. Smell for burning

I remember seeing Tevion branded stuff for sale in Aldi, we had one of their TV's for a few years.

Apparently I've been told if you connect it to the mains and switch it on it will indicate it DID work as the cone shoots across the room

I still have my speaker tester from when I fitted stereos twenty years ago, AA battery with a wire soldered to each end.

As Parm says, also measure resistance with a multimeter (should be about 3 Ohms). Check for rubbing. Tap cone with your finger. should sound clean, not vibrating/rattly. Inspect for cone or spider coming unglued.

Thats about it.

Nothing with a 9 v battery. Not a sausage.
