[QUOTE="gunz4me, post: 5672124, member: 596464"] Only problem is some of the lower cost digital meters will only read AC voltage in the 50 to 70 Hz range since that is the frequency that typical household AC voltage operates at. Make certain your digital multimeter can read 1,000 Hz before you start using it. Also, do your voltage readings with the speakers disconnected from the amplifier and all processing disabled on the hu and amps. This means keep your bass flat, treble flat, no loudness enabled, no bass boost on your amp, and no crossovers enabled on your amplifiers. Keep in mind that this is just a test to get you in the ball park and you will still have to use your ear for the final tuning. [/QUOTE]
