Measuring speaker impedance dips

How would you go about doing this? Is it as simple as hooking your meter between the positive and negative terminals of your speakers while the system is playing?

If the speaker dips below say 4 ohms what does this mean and why should there be a concern?. Is it that there is very little resistance at that point in time and the amp's signal becomes unstable and less defined?

Dude,
Only with oscilloscope you can measure impedance dips.

If you think you can simply connect your multimeter to the binding posts of your speaker, you're completely wrong.

What are you trying to accomplish by these measurements?

There are amplifiers that could be stable even shorted for a short time almost like a welding machines with huge power reserve such as Edge, Carvers, Plinius so there's literally no point of impedance dip that could "surprise" most of these amps.
