blownengine Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 The positive wires heading to the subs. Just like a normal amp setup pretty much.

TheyDontWantMusic Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 if you're clamping 2 amps, you still have two speaker cables running to the sub(s) you can clamp either as its an AC signal anyway, and also measure the voltage across both these cables as well, so you're measuring both amps.

ChevyBoy95 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 This is how i did it. Blue is bridge wire The red and black boxes on the bottom of the amp are the power and ground.

ChevyBoy95 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 what is the formula to calculate watts? im just clarifying to make sure the one i have is right.

TheyDontWantMusic Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 you drew on the diagram that you measured volts AC on the battery terminals. what voltage and current did you measure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
