    k. ive been looking at several different websites and all of the multimeters have different ranges...the larger the range, the more expensive. so what range do i need. at radioshack, a 22-range multimeter is 30$ but a 46-range is 70$. they also have a 15-range which is only 20$.

    i blew something...

    do i get this at a local car audio store or electronic store like radioshack or something?
