Hi,

Anyone know how to measure the Impedance of a speaker accurately ? I know that using a multimeter is not all that accurate .
Reason being, when I put my digital multimeter across the terminals of my speaker , I get 6ohms - is it 4ohms or 8ohms ?

The 'catch' is that general use multimeters measure DC resistance and speaker impedance is based on AC resistance, so there's no accurate way of measuring it without the proper equipment.

But (:)), IME, if you're reading 6 ohms, it's actually an 8 ohm speaker.
