JohnW Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 It makes sense that you'd be able to test them while they're still connected to the crossover, right? Or do I have to melt the solder, disconnect them, and test them in isolation? I mean, they're what's between the positive and negative leads of my ohm meter, right?

avguytx Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 You have to lift at least one leg of the caps or resistors to give an accurate reading. Otherwise, you're reading them in circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to ne an ESR meter. My Fluke won't read them so I have to settle for lifting a leg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnW Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 All I have is a multimeter. Guess I'll get out the soldering iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
