They can take more, but that's enough to get it moving pretty well.

500w is plenty, they can take more, but not that much more. For daily I wouldn't go over 600w, I'm sure you could burp em a lot higher but that's neither here nor there.

Mine have handled 1kw rms daily for the past 4+ years. 2 of em off of a nine.1 each. Were in my car for a year or so, and in a friends truck since then.

Install dependant though.

500W@2 is exactly what I'm running to a single type R in my siblings vehicle.

Can handle more but its enough to push it.
