Dmm help please

I set my voltages, ohms and amps all by ear. DMM's are overrated. If its not loud enough then i usually add a few ohms and that usually does the trick!

Sorry but you just failed miserably at trying to be funny //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

but by all means you are pretty much wasting your time using a DMM. just set everything by ear. go back to the sub while adjusting listen to it play, listen for distortion, listen for clipping. Just listening will tell you more than a DMM will. When you play music the voltage isnt going to be steady all the time anyway! then after you got everything like you want it then use a dmm and a clamp to see how much power your sending to the subs. But if you "ear" isnt a good "ear" then just use the DMM

Don't listen to this...you are much better off using a DMM. It will be steady as long as your use a tone to set your gain, not music. You could use your ear if you have a good ear, but I trust a dmm more than I do my ear. Use it to send the RMS to your sub, assuming the amp is not overrated and can not push what it says.

Where did you buy your ohms from?

if your still lost. top left 20 to test the batt. bottom center 200 for checking ohms. For gain its AC voltage (remember to play a sine wave 50hz 0db or near there) so i think its top right with (V ~) looking sign but cant tell from the flash.
