Decaf Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 60hz your battery puts out dc current, you amp makes ac current Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbreudi Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 im playin a 45hz test tone on a T3000.....someone HELP Hmm you should get a reading as long as the dmm is on AC volts, not amps. Try a 60Hz tone on the AC volt setting. If still nothing then double check your metter with a house ac outlet.

If still nothing then double check your metter with a house ac outlet. EASY on the house outlet don't go sticking probs in the outlets unless you know what your doing. Set your test tone to 60hz then set the DMM on AC, if it doesn't read then you might have it on too high of a setting or your not getting anything from the output.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Tech Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 you should be measuring at the output speaker terminals, since you are measuring the wave/singal leading to your speakers. That would be AC. However i dont know what number to use. Quote Baylor University Accounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
