I read that you can use a MM to set up your amps perfectly. How would this be achieved step by step so they dont clip?

Set up

Diamond Audio 7104 running dynaudio 360 3 way system. 1 channel mids and highs. I channel just for the 7"

Diamond Audio 1200.1 running 2 focal V33's 4 ohm

A good step-by-step demonstration Interactive Input Sensitivity (“Gain”) Setting Tutorial 

A DMM is a digital multimeter.  You first determine what voltage you want to send to the speaker load by using Ohm's Law formulas.  See here.  When you have determined the voltage output that corresponds to the power in watts you want the amp to send to the speaker load, then you adjust amp gain until you reach that number in AC volts.  A good sine wave test tone frequency is required.  Use the CD player to play the tone, with the deck at full clean output.

Also, use the search button on this page and look for other posts about setting gain.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

he was meaning a Multi Meter, i find this way to be the most efficent when setting your gains, it really eases the notion that you could be overpowering speakers
