English term or phrase: overdriving

This is from a US manual for loudspeaker/amplifier set-ups, dealing with finding the optimal signal strength. the sentence is:
"Avoid overdriving your amp"
I assume it means giving it a too high input signal but the context isn't entirely clear about that.

overdriving

Explanation:
De term overdrive wordt algemeen gebruikt binnen de muziekindustrie. Je krijgt ook meer hits met overdriving dan met oversturing. Alhoewel de nederlandse technische term oversturen is, denk ik dat het voor iedereen duidelijker is als je overdriving gebruikt.

Example sentence(s):

Voorkom overdrive (overdriving) van uw versterker.
