That is a good link and all, but I know that people can hear clipping, even at lower volumes. I also have explained ohms law as well in one of my posts. Yes it can be done with a volt meter, but I think that not everyone doing an install is a DIY'er as well as they are able top hear what they are looking for. If you rely want to get technical about it all yes you do need an oscilloscope if you are rely worried about clipping. At that level it is not important but you are trying to say that using a volt meter and finding clipping that way is. Different installers recommend different ways. We can argue on about this until the world comes to an end. I choose to show them that method for setting gains. You have showed them your way. They both work.
