RE: testing maggies with a multimeter help

Without desoldering the tweeter from the circuit, you will not get the correct value because it lies parallel to the inductor and resistor. However if you remove the fuse and measure across the tweeter, you will get a value of somewhat over 3 ohms. If the tweeter was bad the value would be north of 15 ohms. Measuring across the woofer will give you the correct value. As Andy mentioned you will have to subtract the inherent resistance of the meter and leads. Older analog meters had a pot to zero the meter.
