Hey world thanks for stopping by. Today I have a video showing how to clamp your amplifier for power output. You will need a clamp style multimeter (i used 2 different ones to make things easier) and the equation is Amps AC x Volts AC = wattage. You can also find impedence by doing Volts AC / Amps AC = Ohms so you can calculate rise. The Amps are found by clamping ALL + SPEAKER LEADS and the Volts is found by putting positive and negative meter leads on the speaker positive and negative. I used a 40 Hz test tone for this, but you can do this with music as well. Any questions or comments post them! edit: DO NOT MULTIPLY AC VOLTAGE NO MATTER HOW MANY SPEAKERS ARE WIRED IN. after feedback i have been heard that is not correct.
