[QUOTE="grandam888, post: 7388270, member: 628519"] Well first off, your not measuring rms wattage. What you will have to do is use an oscilloscope to get the gain setting where it needs to be without clipping the signal. Then you remove the oscope, and hook the dmm up to the amp. See anything above rms is useless, because of clipping, and The only way to truthfully see if your clipping is an scope. Also, it would be a gopod idea to learn ohms law, which is were the formulas we use in car audio derive. Just google ohms law, its probably one of the most helpful tools in any situation involving electricity. [/QUOTE]
