Advance topic

well will see how advance after,

How do you figure out impedance rise using an amp clamp and volt meter, and how do you figure out rms wattage

Basically the calculation for both

Power(watts) = E(voltage) x I(current)

R(impedance) = E(voltage) / I(current)

a amp clamp test the voltage going out of you amp and tell you how meany watts rms your subs are getting,

this is an amp clamp http://www.toolweb.com/pics/FLUi1010.jpg

basically it measures flux lines from your wire telling you how much amperage is flowing through the wire .

Dont forget about your efficiency...
