KG 5.5 Reading 3.9 Ohms on Multimeter

Hey guys,

 

I just got my first Multimeter from Amazon today (Etekcity) and naturally have been going around the house testing my speakers and random outlets etc. Anyway, I tested both KG 5.5 cabinets at the binding posts and both read 3.9 ohms. I know the nominal impedance is supposed to be 8 and multi meters can be off with speakers but is it supposed to be almost half what it is rated?

 

Thanks in advance for the advice.

An ohm meter has nothing to do with measuring speaker impedance. The only thing you can test if is blown and there is no continuity.
