Your meter only measures DC resistance, which is always lower than the nominal impedance. I would want to know the crossover and level settings for the amplifiers, ventilation, how many pieces of equipment were powered by the circuit, etc. We don't really have enough info to work with. Which Episode amplifiers?
Is there a specific reason the Kasa500 amplifier wasn't used? Snap AV carries that, too.
This is a situation where a client moved into a home with existing gear. We had never had issues with 4 ohm loads with other in-wall installs so we tried the Episode.
I've had many times where 4 ohm speakers test at 3.2-3.5 but 2 ohms seems too low. Before I throw a KASA on it, I want to try to test another 3160 to see if it also shows something in the 2 ohm range as I don't want to blow it up as well.
This is a scenario with:
Plenty of ventilation.
DSP: I think we set it to flat with frequency adjustments as the stock DSPs on the Episode offerings are limited and don't match a 3 X 6.5" set-up. I'd have to check with the guys.
Thanks for the feedback
