What is the easiest way to measure current drawn by an amp? I am just curious how much it getting...? Where to connect the ampmeter?

I'm not positive on this, but I think clamp on meters only measure AC amperage, not DC. Anybody know for sure??You'll need a clamp on meter like this:
It'll just clamp around your power wire.
A DMM usually needs to be placed in series with the device and they are usually only capable of measuring 10A.
You can buy them for DC, but they are a little more pricey.I'm not positive on this, but I think clamp on meters only measure AC amperage, not DC. Anybody know for sure??
