Need some help setting gains

[StiRiDaZ]

Hey I just realized im an idiot. I figured out why I keep blowing my component set. I am getting my new cdt ef-61 component set today. These will be my front speakers. My rear are 6x9 infinity kappas. They run to a 4-channel jbl gto 75.4. I have a muti meter and the web site for the tones (http://www.realmofexcursion.com/downloads.html) but I dont get how to set the gains for the speakers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Gain Controls:

Most amplifiers will have some sort of level or "gain" control. This control is used to match the output of the head unit to an amplifier. The maximum audio output voltage from different head units will vary. If there were no gain controls, some head units would not be able to drive the amplifier to its maximum power level. Other head units may drive the amplifier to full power at a fraction of its volume control's range. More gain info can be found on this page.
