1000w too much for a 10" Arsenal?

[XaznKewLguyX 10+ year member]

Well I am expecting a 10" arsenal in the mail at the end of this week and right now all I have is a US Amps MD2 to power it. I really don't want to change amps so do you guys think 1000w @ 2 ohms is too much power for the arsenal? I don't know how much power the md2 produces at 8 ohms but I'd imagine it to be like 300-400w and I really dont think thats enough for it.

What do you guys think?

Sigh.. i've always wanted to set gains with a DMM but have always been too lazy to read it but I guess i have to do it now.
