Just be easy setting the gain you'll be fine
so would u say anything past half way on the gain is over powering? current settings on amp

I'd say anything that could push your sub past xmax or sends a clipped signal is too much...if you're doing it by "ear" start with the gain all the way off and slowly work it up until either you hear distortion or the sub is close to the mechanical limits and back the gain down a fair bit...but the multimeter method above is definitely safer if your amp puts out way more than your sub can take

Ive done by ear for so many years and so far havent had any issues this way,,, So Far.LOL. The DMM method is one of the safest ways to do it,or one of these will work as well. Ive been thinking about this one for a while or something similar in a compact unit.
