FIRST, WE NEED TO HOOK UP OUR SYSTEM WITH ALL THE CORRECT COMPONENTS. THEN WE NEED TO TEST OUT SYSTEM WITH A SINE WAVE. USING A 1Khz TEST TONE, WITH OUR METER SET AT 200 AC-VOLTS, WE PLAY THE DECK TO MAX UNCLIPPED SIGNAL. THE READING WE GET IS THEN PLUGGED INTO OUR FORMULA

AC VOLTS X AC VOLTS

         IMPEDANCE

THIS GIVES US THE ACTUAL OUTPUT @ 1K. THIS IS JUST A CLOSE ESTIMATE. IN ORDER TO BE TRULY ACCURATE, YOU WOULD NEED TO KNOW THE IMPEDANCE AT 1 KHZ. WHICH WE CAN VERIFY USING AN IMPEDANCE TESTER.
