How to detect a FRIED Speaker?
May sound stupid -
But does that mean, the speaker does not rumble, make any noise whats so ever?
A buddy gave me his speaker, connected it to my home stereo, and not 1 noise.
Thinking it could be fried, but no physical damage on the speaker(cone/magnet).

use your multimeter to see what the coil resistamce is at the "rest" state. 4 ohm speaker should be around 3.2 ohms or so.
If you get nothing (infinity) then either one of the leads are snapped the coil has heated up and crapped out.

Usally this is the best case. If your speakers are somewhat new, check and see if they are under warranty still.
