Yes, set it to read resistance and see what your VC's read.

sorry, im not good with this thing, i set to read ohms and i put it on the + and - connections on the speaker and i just reads 0.00

k how about this. the rears read .004 and the fronts read .600 and my subs read .004 on both VC

what ohms setting do you have it on??

2k, when i set it on 200 it makes a annoying beeping noise

does it read anything on the 200 setting?

yep, subs 3.8-3.9 rears 5.0-5.1 fronts dont read also no annoying beeping comes on for the fronts

or you can set it to continuity (sp)

or you can set it to continuity (sp)

i dont see that, i have 20M 2M 200K 20K 2K 200 and a arrow to the right pointing to a +

I think in your case the 200 ohm setting is also the continuity tester.

so, wut do these silly numbers mean?

subs 3.8-3.9- would be 3.8-3.9 ohms

rears 5.0-5.1- sounds like their 6 ohm speakers

sounds like the fronts are blown?
