With this DMM how do I....

see, I don't think AC current is what he's looking to measure here. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
the setting he had were right, or so it seems.

bottom dial set to Kohm top dial set to "200mv"

BUT!

measure the resistance of the mulitmeter leads themselves, just connect the two probes together, and whatever they measure, subtract it from the subs voice coil resistance.

thanks i'll do that

TheyDontWant:

Multimeter resistance = 1.2

original readout = 2.2

total 1ohm load

Thanks everybody for all your help.

Can you also do this from the box itself, i only have one terminal on my box and the subs are wired up into a 1ohm load from inside the box.? My amp is under the box and a PITA to get to the hot and gnd on the amp.

yeah, you can.

but you've also got the resistance of the cable in the box, which shouldn't add too much.

****.....O.P. has some shitty Dmm to get over 1ohm resistance just on the probes:crap:
