Installing CT Sounds Meso 3 way and the AMP is to powerful

[dalefavero20]

Hello,
I am currently designing my system, and I intend to use a Audio Control DM 810 to tune and crossover my system. To that end I have questions about installing the tweeters and midrange speakers on amps that are rated too big. The smallest amps I am seeing on CT sounds are 60 watts / channel. The tweeters are rated for 50 watts/pair RMS.

Is there a reliable way to amplify them without overpowering them?
Do i adjust the gain down on that channel?
How do I relaibly measure to make sure I have it set right? Multimeter and measure the output voltage 50 Watts = V X 4 ohms so Volts = 6.25 at 25 watts?

Thanks for your time
Dale

Yes, just adjust the gains properly and you shouldn't have any issues.

The formula is Square Root of your target Wattage Multiplied by Ohms.
50Wx4Ohms=200. Square root of 200 is 14.14. So 15v AC is your target.
