too much power?

on that note: nope, that amp isn't too powerful. just turn the sensitivity/gain down. it's a lot better to over power rather than underpower a sub- it's the clipping/distortion that will overheat a voicecoil in no time. at any rate, think of it this way- if you had a choice of pulling a trailer up a hill with a pinto or a diesel truck, what would you pick? i know that's a really general analogy, but it's applicable...

overpowering is better than underpowering? underpowering can't hurt if you set the gains correctly. it will only limit the performance of the driver. crank up the gain (driving the amp into clipping), and its the user's fault, not underpowering.
