no ohm load with crossover?

so i just noticed that my ks13 tweeters dont read any resistance on a dmm, and for that matter my 6.5's with bass blockers dont either... why is this? what effect does it have on an amp?

on my tweets i only get a reading if i have my dmm right on the terminals.. i dont get a reading either after the cross overs :( thought my dmm was messing up

Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal?

heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked.

i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat

I know that crossovers work on AC current, and a DMM puts out DC to test resistance, and the DC won't make the crossover turn on, therefore no current goes through it. As far as at the speakers themselves with the bass blockers and whatnot, I have no idea, I would assume they work the same way, and only turn on with AC current.

do you have the dmm on ohms??DC dosent read ohms it reads the dc voltage..

That's why they don't deliver.

Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait.

You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start :D

I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

yes its set on ohms... its only when i probe the wires that have crossovers/bassblockers
