Thanks I was able to confirm the method for determining ohms. I see your cleaning mat under the speaker, I have several myself for each of the different pieces.
Johnny, love your videos buddy. very informative and you do a great job at explaining things. whenever I'm trying something like this for the first time, I always run to your channel to get a good general sense of what to expect. Thanks again, and keep up the good work
Dude, 1 minute into the video I "subbed" and "liked". I have a project planned and have been reading a lot and watching video's, very helpful, thank you. You answered my question, "can I wire a string of speakers using a combination of series and parallel to keep my ohms in my Amp. range?" with this info I will draw my schematic to show the ohm loads
Hi. So, if you wanted those 4ohm voice coils in that sub to run at 8ohms, how would you wire them? Or is that not an option? Thanks for the video, and any reply! 👍
The ohm reading is lower than the marked impedance because the ohm meter is using dc voltage to measure, however the speakers are driven by AC and that is when they are at the marked impedance. Resistance is different between AC and DC.
Hi Great Video Thanks - Using a multimeter on resistance (Ohm) setting usually results in a reading that is just short of the actual Impedance. I believe that in order to get a true impedance reading you would typically need a scope and a signal generator. I believe that for most purposes the method above works fine. Again thanks for sharing
I have a subwoofer that has 4 terminals, two labeled 4 ohm and the other two labeled 8 ohm. Looks like a DVC but it’s strange. I even tested the impedance and the labels seem accurate. They’re old off-brands so no manuals or specs. Any idea what I’m dealing with?
Hi. My woofer play well. But wont read ohms with my multimeter. I have bough new multimeter from walmart and return because i thought they didint work. I purchase and return a few and does not read sub. Any idea what's going on ? Thanks for sharing
My multi-meter works but its reading 0.l. However, I am testing tweeters and right after connecting the leads, a bunch of random numbers show up (in the high 30s) and then it goes to 0.l. What could be the issue?
Hi! I have two rockford fosgate punch subwoofers and I don't know what wattage they are. is there a way to find this out? my brother got them from best buy but he doensnt know what they are just that theyre pretty old.
No real way to check. They don't really have a wattage to them, just what they can handle. If it's clean power (very little distortion) most decent subs will handle almost anything you can throw at them. Distortion is a killer..
Johnnysshop I bought it for 15 bucks at Wal-Mart so that's probably it lol. also when I'm trying to set my gain and I put my DMM probes into the positive and negative for the speaker terminals on my amp to measure the voltage, nothing pops up on my DMM

I’ve learned a lot from you bro. Great job as always.

Is it really different? Seriously. In how is it different?
I don't know why I keep reading this when the fact is that you can test them with a multimeter and get accurate readings
I'm testing a set of sub's and 0.02 is this good or bad

Thanks for the nice video. Is there any way to measure speaker watts?
What is the range used to get the accurate value of the speaker?

Thank u.... I finally get it. Ohms law... :)

Awesome video!
i have focal cms 50 studio monitor ? what voltage stabilizer should i use ?
“KISS”. Learn it, live it, know it...
Great Tutorial.
I had to do a set of 4 speakers at a restaurant in Series and parallel to get the right Ohms for a mono amplifier.
Awesome!
Thanks 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Can you do a video on re painting
the metal on a gun
TLB427 I should have one up eventually. Thanks for watching!
i have 350w speaker i whant to install capacitor what capacitor its is.. thank you
Usually a cap depends on the amp.
How to know the rms watt of speakers using that multi-meter itself?
Not that I'm aware of.
You cant. Also the 8 ohms on the speaker is not possible to test with a DC ohmmeter. We are talking about impedance, we have 8 ohms @ 1 kilohertz.
hi i got 16 ohm speaker and i did test it with 2k ohm multimeter settings and i got 0.14 ? it that good number ????
+Jepe 97 Sounds like 14 ohm so that would be fine.
if you use a lower setting range the multimeter becomes more precise.
hi, i've 2 4 ohm speakers, how can i connect it and get total of 4 ohm, thanks
With only two you can only achieve 2 or 8 ohm
shahirah farhana you can add a transformer bro to double the series and make it 4ohms....
unless they are DVC then you can do 1ohm or 4ohm
im getting a 3.8-3.4 in parallel and it wont go to 2 ohm load whats wrong ?
Sounds like you have 8 ohm speakers.
I'm getting a reading of 5 ohms when it should be 4. what's the problem?
May just be the multimeter itself. Not saying it is a cheaper model meter but if it is, that's pretty common.

Brand new multimeter doesn't even work I'm getting 0
have it on the right setting? needs to be on the Omega symbol... looks like a horseshoe kinda
@@troyg3831 ya I had it right it's brand new and broken
If in series its R1+R2, if in paralel its (R1*R2)/(R1+R2) in this case R1=4 and R2=4
Just get too it
