[QUOTE="DarkKnightSM, post: 8559939, member: 672612"] Im trying to figure out the wattage my amplifier is putting out. I want to make sure its able to feed the amount of power im asking of it and just curious i suppose. Its rated at 1000watts rms and i imagine im pushing it pretty close but im just guessing. So to figure watts i need volts times ampere, but these cheapo dmms only read up to 10a. Correct me if im wrong but if im pushing 1000 watts wont i need be able to read atleast 80 amps maybe more? Also plan on upgrading the system to push maybe 1500-2000 watts depending on the subs i get down the road so i need a multimeter that will accomadate this in the future [/QUOTE]
