[QUOTE="brian84corvette, post: 8367875, member: 586635"] touch the leads of your meter together. what does it say. every cheap meter ive had has a resistance thru it - the red junk one i have now from ace hardware reads .6 ohms load thru just touching the probes to eachother - so since i know the meters resistance - i can then touch a 4 ohm speaker and see a readout of 4.6 ohm and kno that the meter is adding its own resistance to that result this phenomina was causing me grief when i was trying to wire my six 18s to .66 ohm load at the amp - but my meter kept giving me 1.2 to 1.4 ohms load at the amp fluctuating cause six subs is hard to get a constant read from cause six coils in the gap always fluctuate - but my meter was adding .6 to the result - i couldnt figure out why at the time and kept going back and checking my subs to make shure they were all dual 2 ohm coils.
