How can I check to see what load my amp is seeing? I wired for 1 ohm but i want to check electronically.

I have one already...where do I put the leads at and what setting/scale should I use for measuring in? My multimeter has a few settings.

The 2 wires coming out the box....and just the ohm setting on lowest

Don't be surprised is if it different than "nominal". My 4 D4s should be wired to 2 ohms, however, it comes out to be a 2.6 ohm final load. I figure it is because of all the connections and whatnot.

with a dmm your going to be getting the direct current resistance.

To get a true reading you need a dmm, a clamp meter, an understanding of ohms law, and some test tones.
