[QUOTE="87Accord, post: 7384439, member: 633920"] I am trying to measure the output of my amps and and getting very very low watts output. I read the way to do it was to meter the speaker outputs to get your volts AC and multiplay that by 10 then divide by your impedance. So... I get a maximum of 8 volts AC from the leads x 10 = 80volts / 4ohms = 20watts and that's divided by 2 i take it since it's going to left and right speakers. Shouldn't I be getting a considerable amount more (at 14.4dc volts since the car is running during tests) considering I am using an alpine 4 chan amp when bridged should do 100rms per channel? am I doing something wrong here?
