thisisjaytoo Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I know the sticker on the back says "8 ohms", but my multimeter says 4. I have checked other speakers and they are reading about 8 on my multimeter. I've heard that the ohm reading is under load, but under load is when I am having problems with my amp not being able to drive the speakers when connected to the 8ohm tap Is this a normal condition for these speakers or did something change or go out in the crossover that would have caused the resistance to go up?

djk Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Try the 4 ohm tap, see how it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisisjaytoo Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 It sounds OK on the 4 ohm taps, but I'm wondering why it doesn't work on the 8. If the speakers used to be 8 and now they are 4, it makes me wonder if they used to sound better. Does anyone with a pair of klf-10,20,30's have a multimeter to prove or disprove that I'm crazy?

That is wierd. I would think they would mate up? could it be something wrong with your amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
