How much DC will go to a tweeter behind a crossover's cap? Just about zero, right?why not put a 10-20 ohm resistor in series with the battery?
The fuses are what, around 3 amps? If the tweet is 3 ohms and you put a 9V battery, you'll be at the design limits.
Seems if you use a 1.5 V battery and any additional resistance you'll be well under the limit.
Don't bypass the fuse for this test! You need it now to prevent boneheads.
