I unhooked the subs and attached the DMM leads on the amp speaker terminals.
I played a 50hz 0db tone. The HU was set at 25/50. I got 30 volts from the DMM.
Then I played a 40hz note, nothing else was messed with, still 25/50 on the HU.........and I got 40 freakin' volts!! wtf is going on? Is the DMM crap or is that how the amp is supposed to work?
30 volts at 2 ohms is 450wrms
40 volts at 2 ohms is like 800wrms.
When I hook up the subs, both the 40 and 50hz tone sound similar in volume.
anybody know what the hell is happening here? It makes me question the validity of using a DMM to tune your amps.
