Set it onto resistance or ohms or whatever it says, disconnect your amp from your sub and measure the resistance accross the terminals.
Compare it with what the manufacturer says the voice coils are (they will either be 1, 2 or 4 ohm coils. If its different from what it says by much then you'll have damaged your coil(s)
