If you power the speaker as usual with only the EMIT connected you will have the protection the crossover and fuse provide. It would probably be wise to make sure the disconnected mid range and woofer wires don't touch one another. I think. Someone can correct if wrong.
THIS IS IMPORTANT--if you connect just the EMIT to an amp/receiver it will NOT be protected by either the fuse or the crossover preventing bass and midrange frequencies getting to it.
I would not play just the EMITs by themselves crazy loud.
But that's just me.
Perfectly flat EMIT diaphragms are fairly rare.
Most seem to have at least a little waviness so that is not cause for alarm.
When the little shiny strip is broken the EMIT stops producing sound. That is not the only reason they won't produce sound however.
That little shiny strip goes in oblong circles on the diaphragm from terminal to terminal.
The resistance check you did confirms that the "trace" (shiny silver strip) is continuous and not broken.
