Re: How to measure the load of output of an AMP?

To figure this out you need to look inside the amp and find the wires for the other taps. Since you have 4, 8 and 16 ohm taps there should be 4 wires including the common. Use an ohmmeter and measure the resistance between the 4 wires. The 16 ohm tap will have the highest resistance. The 4 ohm tap is a center tap and will measure the same to the common and 16 ohm tap. The 8 ohm tap will be in between the 4 and 16 ohm taps.
