First, it is crucial to determine which model of audio drivers are being tested. | First, it is crucial to determine which model of audio drivers are being tested. See sections below for information on each model. | ||
<br>Once the driver model is determined, disconnect the outside speakers from the two terminals on the back of the amplifier. <br>Put a DC ohm meter across the leads going to the tower. <br>If the reading is higher than the listed value, then one or more of the drivers could be open, or a connection is corroded. <br>If lower, one or more drivers or the wiring may be shorted. | |||
Determine the resistance of the Ohm meter's own leads by touching the two test leads together. Subtract the displayed value from measurements before comparing to those given below. | Determine the resistance of the Ohm meter's own leads by touching the two test leads together.
