you can not blow a sub just by underpowering them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

alpine's are very power hungry. I suggest 1200-1400 Rms Amp for the type x. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

500 is wayyyy not enough.

can you burn the coils?

Yes, be careful, less current = more heat.
