Sure it can. You just need something around 0.1hz.

You won't get 0.1Hz through an audio amplifier!

Who was talking about using an audio amp?


That's what this thread was about. We were talking about speaker phase, and
speakers are only ever driven by audio amplifiers!


Nope, speakers are driven by whatever you connect to them. A Battery
works fine.

I was musing between a frequency generator, and maybe just a battery and
switch. I did say it was a dumb idea though, since you can only test at
the terminals on the back on the speaker (unless you knock it to pieces),
and with cheap speakers they are just as likely to be mis-wired inside.

Well it IS a dumb idea, a particularly dumb idea, but not for that reason.
I've never come across mis-wired speakers and frankly I don't believe that
any factory-made speakers, even the very cheapest, would have the two
speakers of a stereo pair wired differently.


Believe what you like .. just don't visit any Chinese factories.
