Audio Amplifier Problems

Please Help Me! I have a few amplifiers that i am having problems withand i need to determine if the amplifiers are bad or if the speakercircuits are bad. each has upwards of 100 speakers on them (70.7 voltsystem) and they keep shutting down (internal circuit breakertripping). they only seem to do it when all/most speakers are hookedup, but i can't yet figure out why. I've checked the AC current with aFluke DMM wired in series, but it only shows what i calc to be around70 watts (.7 amps to .98 amps) but i should be able to pull close to120 watts. everyone i talk to tells me this is a bad way to test thissystem, but nobody can tell me how to. any help will be greatlyappreciated.120 Watt Amps70 Volt SystemLots of Speakers...
