Don't forget the add-in of "check to make sure the battery in the multimeter is still good". As Ohm (resistance) metering requires that the multimeter has a small (but still working) power supply of its own. (Should just be something like a standard 9-volt battery)

Edit: All of you "hip cats" these days use digital meters, so I guess my suggestion to check the battery is moot...  :'(

That's what I was feeling might be the case. I have a digital meter.

What, you can't measure the fuse while it's still in there? However, I was thinking I needed to measure volts, not resistance. Still, I did measure voltage at those connections at the back of the board, and shouldn't there have been some if it was getting power?

Wow!, this amp looks like its capable of things way beyond your 'powered speakers'. This thing must be able to do 2x80 watt stereo on pretty audiophile levels if I look at the components. Is there a big torroid to supply the power? What a waste you chose powered PC speakers instead! Get some serious drivers for it.

Powered Speakers are cool enough for me thanx. Easy to setup and they sound great especially if you have some car speakers. You can adjust Bass etc.  :cheers:

Well, you could. But I likely wouldn't mess with it either if I didn't already have (what I think are) good speakers in the candy already. It's far easier to just get some decent PC speakers, which are plenty loud enough for me.
