Impedance????


Can anyone tell me what I need in order to measure inpedance on my system? and how? Ohm meter?

Well, impedance is different at each input and output of each component of your system so there is no "system" impedance. To measure impedance of your speakers or input/output of a component, the only accurate way is to use an oscilloscope and sweep the frequencies from DC to 50kHz while in Bode plot mode.

An ohm meter will only give you the resistance and not the impedance - thus it will do this only for DC and not for any other frequency so its informational value is very limited.
