Change in ohms of bookshelf speakers

Just curious, are you measuring speakers while still connected to amp output?
Because Multimeters do not actually measure ohms but a small voltage 😱
Offset voltage will be read and displayed as if it were a given ohms value.
20 to 40 "ohms" value sounds suspiciously similar to 20 to 40 mV offset, very common values.
No first i disconnect it from amplifier then measure it
Moreover if I was doing something wrong the other speakers ohms too should fluctuate but only this one goes 20-30ohms other stays always 6ohms

the resistor might still have a purpose. When one leg of the resistor is connected to the capacitor and the other leg is connected to the tweeter, and a wire is bridging both legs, it might form a specific impedance network or alter the crossover slope, affecting the frequency response of the tweeter. This configuration could be part of a particular crossover design to fine-tune the audio frequencies sent to the tweeter
But "@Galu" it's bilge

So again in confusion regarding the purpose of resistor in my circuit
 
so resistor is just thrown in by manufacturer and bridge
And has no effect on audio it's 0 ohms

So now why does my ohms change
I don't think capasitor might be a culprit, resistor doesn't have anything in circuit.
What else is the issue?
 
Both when measured shows 6ohms

But one of the speakers suddenly shoes 20-40 ohms

If one speaker suddenly changed by such an amount you would most certainly know about it while listening. The sound level would drop to almost nothing across a huge part of the audio frequency band and yet you go on to say...

(During those days i keep them in use)

And:
Sound doesn't change it is same as other speaker. Normally if ohms change there should be a drastic change but in my case no change in sound


So we assume nothing audible happens. That in itself is proof to me that the impedance is not suddenly wildly changing.

What you describe is quite likely to be something as simple as a poor interface between test meter, the leads and the speaker. It is a common scenario.

And any how I will close the speaker now using glue for more rigidity or else it will keep on vibratin

Now should I replace that capasitor which film 2.2uf 100v

Or just keep the old one

What do you suggest?
 
@oscroft yes that's what, checking ohms of pair you will get same on both in your case 4.2 ok fine but if your one speaker shows 4 and other 20 then it's something wrong with the speaker.
Or residual charge, voice coil magnetism, multimeter interface, poor contacts/joints, some combination... I think you should replace the capacitors, reflow all solder joints, clean and check all contacts, and see how it goes. If that doesn't fix it, then there could be a problem with a driver. But there's nothing you can really do about that other than replace it, and I don't see any need to do that until you start to hear a problem.
 
Attached below capasitor I am getting this
Is it ok ?
