If you know which drivers are in your subs you can find out their tech data which hopefully should yield two maximum excursion numbers: the max excursion before damage (usually peak-to-peak) and the maximum linear excursion mostly given as a +- measurement.

The trick is to stay within the much smaller linear excursion limit and add subs if it's not loud enough. Otherwise distortion is sky rocketing.
