Toning out speaker wire

[mobiledynamics]

Can on use a toner/probe on speaker wire to ID a run.
If not, what other alternate idea would u sugggest

if you mean to inject a tone onto a pair of wires for tracing, I don't see why not (unless the pair in question are open or not going to the same termination). But the "other end" must not have a load that will drag the level down.

Alternate method :
1. disconnect wires at back of receiver
2. twist bare leads together of 1 wire set
3. on speaker end - with continuity tester (ohmmeter) ring out each lead until find shorted wire set
4. label each wire end at receiver
5. untwist set that of wires
6 repeat back to step 2

or
If speakers are already wired on speaker end. Disconnect all at receiver and 1 by 1 connect, see which speaker gives sound. Then label wire at receiver, then repeat.

Yeah. It works great. I've used it on cars & houses trying to sort stuff out. Surprised me the first time.

Hook up all the speakers, then plug them in one at a time.

D battery. Make and break contact to speaker side. Works great in vehicles

Yes, this works great, years ago by accident I had my tone coming out of all the speakers in a hospital.
