i feel like something doesnt add up

Just put you dmm where your wires connect to your box while playing the system. I've never done it but I don't see why you couldn't find your ohm load while playing music by doing that. Also what gauge wire would matter also imo...smaller wire and you can't draw the full power you need.
A couple of reasons. When you put your leads on the speaker outputs, the woofers are then in parallel with the amp internals. Also your meter measures resistance and not impedence. It must be calculated via clamp/dmm method with a nice accurate clamp. Otherwise you're just as well off to stick your thumb up your ass, tell how much it hurts on a level from 1-50 and call it good.

 
If those amps are not strap properly one will go into protect but the master will stay operational so you'd only be getting the power from one amp..

nnot saying this is the case just throwing that out there just encase..

So do they strap in parallel? I guess I didn't realize how many amps do that. If the AQ's are Korean boards I don't think they would work at all if wired wrong. I could be wrong but I believe they all strap in series in half-bridge mode. The negatives of each amp are connected together. The master amp's positive output is the positive output and the slave's positive output is the negative. Without the slave, the master would not be in half-bridge mode, but it's negative would be connected to the slave amp and not the woofers. So he might blow one or both amps, but there shouldn't be any output to the woofers.

lol ok i was wrong. so would doing what i said actually hurt anything or just not get the answer you want?
