amp power question.....

[natedizzle 0]

so i kinda wanted to find out if there was a way that i could tell around how much my amp is putting to my subs cause i dont have a dmm (yet).....so is there a way that i could show the specs of my sub amp to you guys and tell you how my wiring is??Like i said i was just hoping to kinda get an idea of how much my subs are getting now.

the wires are L+ and R- some im guessin is bridged but im not sure how my subs are wired yet(i didnt do it) but im pretty sure they are at 4ohms....D4 subs btw

and here is the amp again.....

easiest way to do this is explained here.

like i said i dont have a dmm so i thought there was a another way...

buy a cheap one----it is one of the most important things in car audio IMO----can get one for $15-$90 depends on how many measurements you want to be able to do.

Don't get the cheapest one though. I bought a Radio crap 10 dollar DMM and it can't read AC ratings so there goes my ability to do the gain settings.

I have one that wont go down to 10th's decimal place

So when i read ohms i only get 1 number and no decimal

Find a friend or a friend of a friend that is an electrican, mechanic, etc. Anyone that plays with electricity will have one.

ok so i took the sub out and looked i hope this makes sense.....the sinlge piece of wire by itself goes from the right + to the left - ......then the wire that goes to the terminal goes from the right - to the left + .......i hope that makes sense it is right.... like i said i just wanted to see if you guys would kinda know around what each sub is getting....if not ill be able to get a dmm next week.

You are incredibly good at ignoring advice. Please listen to the answers when you ask a question. You NEED a DMM otherwise your gain settings could have you an order of magnitude off. Without measuring the voltage you CANNOT know what your subs are getting, it is not possible. If you are really concerned, you should have listened and just bought the Orion that was recommended. Buying the wrong gear is worse than paying too much for the right gear.
