    you can measure it with a ohm meter or look on the back of the speaker say the each sub is 200 rms each =400 rms that means you will need a 400 rms amp that means you need a 2 channel amp with 200rms on each channel

    You find the ohms by measuring the voice coil(s) with an ohm meter. As far as power handling you need to know the brand and model to find the specs. There's no way to determine what they can handle by measuring anything.
