Bad RCA's?

[Jager 10+ year member]

So I trouble shooted my amp to discover I have no power coming out of the speaker channels. I figured this meant my amp was blown. When I tried putting a new amp in, it too would power on but nothing out of the speaker terminals. I dont have access to a DMM so I cant figure out if there is voltage coming through these speaker channels. My question is: If you have bad rca's, will your amp still put out power through the speaker terminals on a DMM?

yes, just grab some different rcas and hook them up to test if thats the issue before you tryo routing them properly under the carpet. just get some cheap ones, maybe even borrow some off a surround sound in your home if you have that, and that will help narrow down the problem
