Unknown sub brand. 6ohm meter reading

Ok so I have this sub, no logo, no nothing. DVC. Each VC reads 6ohms on my meter. Do they make 6ohm DVC? Is it 8 DVC? Or 4 DVC?

If you only metered it like in the pic..you're pushing the cone down which will change the ohm reading..

Lol. Dammit. Right when I think maybe I'm not a noob anymore, I do things like that. 5.1ohms after a few minutes, guessing we can go with its a 4ohm DVC?

do the prongs on your dmm have any resistance ? I know Bose has funky ohm ratings but I don't know if they have subs with a magnet like that lol

AMERICAN BASS ... they made d6 subs back in the day ...

4 d6 subs gives you a .75 load in parallel ...... perfect for a daily set up on a VLX 200 or vlx 400.....

Yes the dmm does, and it's different everytime. I tossed it out. Getting a new one tomoro. How accurate are new little cheaply ones like in the pic? Accurate enough to set gains?

I have a 10 buck Wal-Mart dmm and it's a little gem.
