[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 6987915, member: 624844"] I think Mike meant set your meter on AC.... If you set it on DC and try to measure output on the speaker terminals the voltage will jump so much you can't get a good reading.. Music puts out an AC (push-pull) signal when measured at the power side of an amp. You can also try driving some small speakers. If it can drive the small speaker but not drive a regular 6.5, then you know the amp is shorting out or the drivers are being overloaded for some reason and needs repair. Just in case, I would test your speakers with another amp also. [/QUOTE]
