Thanks for the advice. I didn't even notice that mine only has the x1000 scale. Now I feel kind of stupid //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gifYour analog ohmmeter needs to have a X1 scale and be "zeroed" by shorting the leads and adjusting the zeroing knob (assuming it's an old VOM style). DC resistance of a speaker coil reads about 20% lower than the actual impedance but it's close enough for a 2 ohm v.s. 4 ohm check. If you use a digital meter be sure to short the leads first to get the zero reading. Subtract that from your measurement.
