No they are rated at 500max per sub not 500rms per sub big difference..

Well I am not really sure now no one list there rms they just list 500w thermal so I assume thats max but it may very well be rms.

Yes I looked them up but as u can see they say 500watts thermal. Does that mean max or rms? It does not say so depending on who u ask some would say 500rms and some would say 500max.
