Just music. "Turn turn the volume up slowly until you measure 2.83 V AC at the speaker input" as in the speaker terminals on the speaker? Or should it be at the speaker tap on the amp?
Measuring true RMS voltage with musical signal is generally beyond the ability of a multimeter. That's why @erik_squires was recommending a 60 Hz test tone.
The difference between voltage at the speaker terminal and the speaker tap on the amp is whatever loss is incurred on the speaker cable, which should be small if you are using anything like a normal cable section and length. In any case, considering what you are trying to do, I would measure at the speaker.
