[QUOTE="ahole-ic, post: 7639837, member: 619324"] No. You'll need a nice clamp meter. Flukes are the only ones I'd trust. For instance my craftsman reads like 20 amps higher than my fluke. Anyways, you put the clamp on your positive speaker lead. Then you put the volt meter on AC and measure both + and - speaker leads. Use a digital camera to see what both meters read at the same time. Doing peak and hold on both is assuming they both peaked at the same time. Voltage x Current = actual wattage. Voltage / current = actual impedence. [/QUOTE]
