checking coil with dmm

[bassHZ]

set my dmm to ohms and put it on my single voice coil 4ohm subwoofer and it bounced around around 3.4 and 4.something but mainly over 4.something is this a good thing what should a subwoofer coil check out at on the dmm and is it the same for number for like mids and highs and tweeters ??

sounds about right. remeber everytime the cone moves even a the a little it changes the impedence a little

I had the same question I need my subs to be at 1 ohm and the dmm is reading 1.2-1.4 this is with the subs in the box and im taking a reading off the speaker wire that goes to the amp but is not hooked up.

ok is it the higher the number the better the woofer is or the lower the better cuz i checked other woofers and one metered at .08 the other higher than 1.0

take your dmm set it to ohms and touch the leads together I'm willing to bet thats where the additional comes in at. Being that little over is not bad. if it was a 4 ohm coil reading like 16 or something it would be .
