Also I believe you will want to disconnect the leads from your amp before doing this. As far as I know the DMM sends a small current to test the resistance and I have heard that amps do not like this.

Hello again,

I solved the problem. It happens that one of the connectors that was holding one of the wires was not soldered correctly. Again, thanks for the help! I learned some new stuff the system is loud. That's pretty much all I can say
