david Bronze Member Username: Davidt487 Texas Post Number: 100 Registered: Dec-07	Posted on Wednesday, February 20, 2008 - 20:50 GMT ive been through the setting several times if thats it ill never find it. i called eclipse they said there is no what to check the output voltage with out an o scope and i dont have on so.
M.S. Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18 Northwest PA Post Number: 6370 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Wednesday, February 20, 2008 - 21:33 GMT BS you use use a DMM to check voltage Scope is needed to benchtesting output power though.
david Silver Member Username: Davidt487 Texas Post Number: 102 Registered: Dec-07	Posted on Wednesday, February 20, 2008 - 21:36 GMT that is what the guy at eclipse tech support told me. also i thought i might have a ground problem so i ran 0 guage from the frame to the - battery terminal and from the firewall to the - terminal now my voltage runs at like 15 is that good or bad?

Post Number: 5970 Registered: Mar-04	Posted on Wednesday, February 20, 2008 - 21:51 GMT Do you have another amp you can hook up just to test? Try that if you can. Also, to test output on the RCA's...Just use a DMM. Disconect the RCA's from the amp and put one lead on the center pin and another on the outer casing. Run a 60hz tone and see what voltage you get at the RCA.
