[QUOTE="midnightg35x, post: 6070175, member: 608400"] No impedance load implies infinite resistance, not zero resistance. Zero resistance is a short. Checking the AC voltage of an amp with no load USUALLY works, but not always depending on the topology of the amp. To find the actual power out, as said before you need a clamp ammeter, a voltmeter, and a test tone. That gives you the true power by multiplying amps x voltage. [/QUOTE]
